Portret van een man met een baard 1890 - 1946

This pencil sketch, "Portret van een man met een baard" (Portrait of a man with a beard), was created by Dutch artist Cornelis Vreedenburgh between 1890 and 1946. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the artist's quick and expressive style. It's a study in form, focusing on the profile of a man with a beard, rendered with loose, fluid lines that suggest a sense of movement and energy. Vreedenburgh, known for his portraits and landscapes, often used sketches like this as preliminary studies for larger works.
