Bildnis eines Mannes mit Spitzbart und herabwallendem Haar im Oval 1632

Johann Jakob Kornmann's "Bildnis eines Mannes mit Spitzbart und herabwallendem Haar im Oval" (1632), a graphite drawing housed in the Städel Museum, depicts a man in a simple yet elegant attire, with his gaze directed towards the viewer. The portrait is set within an oval frame, emphasizing the sitter’s features and conferring a sense of formality. The careful shading and precise lines capture the individual's likeness in a highly realistic style, characteristic of portraiture in the early 17th century. This piece exemplifies the artist's skilled hand in capturing detail, providing viewers with a glimpse into the life of a distinguished individual from the past.
