Portret van een onbekende man 1834

This lithograph, created in 1834 by Marcellin de Clermont, depicts a portrait of an unknown man. The subject is presented in a simple composition, with the man's face and upper torso filling the majority of the frame. This is a common stylistic choice for portraiture, allowing viewers to focus on the individual's features and expression. The work is rendered in a realistic style, capturing the subject's likeness with detailed precision. The man's attire, including a formal coat and bowtie, suggests he was likely a gentleman of some standing. While the identity of the sitter remains a mystery, the artwork offers a glimpse into the fashion and portraiture trends of the 19th century.
