This lithograph, "Portret van Petrus van Schendel" by Georg Wolf (1820-1857), is a portrait of the Dutch painter Petrus van Schendel, and was created after 1835. The detailed rendering of the subject's clothing, the realistic depiction of the face, and the overall sense of gravitas point to the artist's skill in the genre of portraiture. This work is an example of the popular art of lithography in the 19th century and the influence of the Romantic style in art.
