Zelfportret van Jacobus Schoemaker Doyer 1802 - 1867

This self-portrait, created in charcoal on paper, depicts Jacobus Schoemaker Doyer, a Dutch artist born in 1792 and who passed away in 1867. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a formal yet intimate likeness of the artist, showcasing his attire and facial features with delicate detail. The work is a testament to Doyer's skill as a draftsman and his ability to portray himself with both honesty and a sense of self-awareness. The small size of the drawing further adds to the personal and intimate feel of the piece.
