"Twee bebaarde mannen, van wie er één zijn hoofd met zijn hand ondersteunt" is a drypoint etching by the Dutch artist Martinus van Regteren Altena, created between 1876 and 1908. The artwork depicts a close-up portrait of a man with a beard, seated and holding his head in his hand. The composition is framed by a rough border, adding to the work's sense of realism and intimacy. The subject matter and style of the etching are characteristic of Altena's artistic practice, which focused on the human figure and employed a distinct, expressive technique. The print is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
