Volwassen man 1748 - 1795

"Volwassen man" (Adult Man), created by Jan Chalon between 1748 and 1795, is a small etching depicting the head and shoulders of a man. The subject has curly hair and is portrayed in a simple, almost casual style. The work demonstrates Chalon's skill in capturing subtle expressions and textures through the delicate lines of etching. Though small in size, this work showcases the artist's ability to create impactful portraits within a minimal format. The use of hatching and cross-hatching techniques further enhance the sense of depth and realism within the piece.
