En gammel fisker. Brystbillede 1885

"En gammel fisker. Brystbillede" is a black and white etching on paper by Danish artist Carl Bloch, created in 1885. The artwork portrays a close-up portrait of an elderly fisherman, capturing his weathered features and worn clothing. The print is a striking example of Bloch's skill in capturing the human form with sensitivity and realism. This work, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the life of a working-class individual during the 19th century.
