"Bildnis und aufmunternde Zeilen eines F. J. Debelmann" is a pencil drawing by Eugen Eduard Schäffer, a German artist known for his portraits and landscapes. Created sometime between 1802 and 1871, the artwork depicts a man in profile, his gaze directed towards the right. The composition is simple, focusing solely on the figure, highlighting the artist's skill in capturing subtle expressions and nuances of form. Below the portrait, a handwritten inscription adds a personal touch to the work, suggesting it may be a memento or a tribute to the subject, F. J. Debelmann.
