Bildnis des Malers Julius Hamel als Schüler des Städelschen Institutes 1852

This charcoal drawing by Johann Heinrich Hasselhorst depicts Julius Hamel, a student at the Städel Institute in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Created in 1852, the artwork showcases Hamel's youthful features, captured in a realistic and intimate style. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of Hamel's hair, clothing, and the subtle play of light and shadow on his face. This portrait is a testament to Hasselhorst's skill as a draftsman and provides a glimpse into the life of a budding artist in 19th-century Germany.
