Portret van een onbekende man 1883 - 1935

Frits Maris's "Portret van een onbekende man" (1883-1935) is a striking portrait of a man, likely a self-portrait by the artist. Created in the style of realism, the artwork emphasizes the subject's strong features and serious gaze. Executed in a brown tone, the print is likely an etching, a technique where acid is used to create lines on a metal plate. This piece represents the artist's skill and ability to capture the essence of his subject through careful detail and expressive lines.
