Portret van Beint Mankes I 1912 - 1914

"Portret van Beint Mankes I" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jan Mankes, created between 1912 and 1914. The artwork portrays a seated man, possibly the artist's father, Beint Mankes, with a somber expression and simple clothing. Mankes is known for his realist style and the expressive use of lines in his drawings. The artwork's delicate lines and subtle shading convey a sense of quiet contemplation and inner life, which are characteristic of Mankes's work. This intimate portrait offers a glimpse into the artist's personal world and artistic vision, which was tragically cut short when he died at the young age of 30.
