Portret van Alexandre Batta 1879

Auguste Danse's 1879 portrait of Alexandre Batta, a lithograph on paper, depicts a close-up of the sitter's head and shoulders. The realistic rendering captures Batta's facial features and details, including his full beard and the subtle texture of his clothing. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the life and style of a 19th-century individual, highlighting the artist's skill in capturing likeness through delicate lines and shading.
