Portret van een onbekende man 1863

This 1863 etching by F. Herinck is a portrait of an unknown man, likely a private citizen of the time period. The man is depicted in a seated pose, wearing a formal suit with a bow tie. The detail of the etching emphasizes the texture of his clothing, as well as the lines of his face. The artist, F. Herinck, is largely unknown, and this etching is a valuable example of a genre that was once common but is now quite rare.
