Portret van een jongeman 1874 - 1925

"Portret van een jongeman" (Portrait of a Young Man) is a watercolor painting by Dutch artist Jan Veth, created between 1874 and 1925. The painting depicts a young man in a formal suit, with a bow tie, against a dark background, highlighting his youthful features and serious expression. Veth's signature realism is evident in the meticulous detailing of the subject's attire and the subtle play of light and shadow on his face. This work is a prime example of Veth's portraiture, known for its psychological depth and intimate portrayal of the sitter. The painting is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
