Portret van Quinten Massijs 1840

Felix Bogaerts' 1840 "Portret van Quinten Massijs" is a pencil drawing that captures the likeness of the famous Flemish painter, Quinten Massys. The profile view of Massys, rendered in meticulous detail, highlights the artist's sharp features and the slight tilt of his head. The artist's rendering of the soft folds of Massys' clothing and the subtle shading of the hat and the background give the drawing a sense of depth and realism, typical of 19th-century portraiture. This intimate portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent artist, providing valuable insight into artistic history.
