Silhouetportret van Gerbrand Bakker 1828

This silhouette portrait of Gerbrand Bakker was created in 1828 by Carl Cristiaan Fuchs, a Dutch artist known for his portraiture. The artwork features a detailed silhouette of Bakker, a prominent figure of his time, in profile view, showcasing his hairstyle and clothing. The print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small-scale work measuring 118 mm in height and 85 mm in width, characteristic of the delicate nature of silhouette art. This piece offers a glimpse into the artistic practices and social life of the early 19th century in the Netherlands.
