Portret van prentmaker Alexander Schaepkens after 1857

This print, created by Belgian artist Arnoud Schaepkens, depicts a profile portrait of Alexander Schaepkens, a printmaker. The artwork, executed in the latter half of the 19th century, showcases Schaepkens' mastery of etching, with detailed rendering of the sitter's features and the textures of his clothing. The oval frame and inscription, "ALEXANDER SCHAEPKENS," reinforce the focus on the individual, making this a quintessential example of portraiture.
