Portret van Jan Costerus 1915

"Portret van Jan Costerus" is a 1915 etching by Dutch artist Lodewijk Schelfhout (1881-1943). This detailed artwork shows a man, likely Jan Costerus, seated at a desk with a book open before him. His thoughtful expression and the surrounding books suggest a scholar or writer. The use of dark lines and shading creates a sense of depth and detail, characteristic of etching.
