Zelfportret van Jan van der Kaa 1825 - 1850

This self-portrait by Dutch artist Jan van der Kaa, created between 1825 and 1850, depicts the artist in a simple, intimate setting. The drawing, done in brown ink on paper, showcases the artist's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture likeness. The portrait captures the artist's serious expression and features a subtle play of light and shadow. The small scale of the work suggests its personal nature, intended for private viewing. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is an important document of the artist's early work and reflects the artistic trends of his time.
