Portret van een onbekende jongeman 1895

"Portret van een onbekende jongeman" is a 1895 etching by Dutch artist Auguste Danse (1829-1929). The work depicts a young man in profile, his head turned slightly down, creating an air of contemplation. The use of hatching and cross-hatching in the etching, particularly evident in the dark background, adds depth and texture to the image. This etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Danse's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of human expression through the medium of printmaking.
