Zelfportret van Jacobus Ludovicus Godinau 1841

This self-portrait, created in 1841, is a fine example of the work of Dutch artist Jacobus Ludovicus Godinau (1811-1873). The artwork depicts Godinau in a realistic and detailed manner, showcasing his skill in capturing the likeness of his subject. The use of graphite and watercolor creates a subtle and nuanced rendering of the artist’s features. The intimate scale of the work, measuring only 113 mm in height and 88 mm in width, suggests a personal and introspective approach to self-portraiture.
