Portret van Charles de Groux 1886

Auguste Danse's 1886 portrait of Charles de Groux, created in the realistic style, features a detailed depiction of the subject's face in profile. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates tonal variations and adds depth to the portrait, highlighting the sitter's strong features. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this drawing exemplifies Danse's mastery of portraiture and offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure from the 19th century.
