Portret van François Joseph Pfeiffer (Jr.) 1780 - 1829

Hendrik Willem Caspari's "Portret van François Joseph Pfeiffer (Jr.)" is a detailed pencil drawing on paper depicting a young man with glasses, likely François Joseph Pfeiffer, a Dutch publisher. The piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Caspari's skill in capturing subtle details of the sitter's features and clothing. While the drawing is relatively small, measuring 116 mm in height and 91 mm in width, it is a testament to the artist's talent for portraiture. This artwork is an example of the Dutch Neoclassical style that emerged during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
