Oude man met baard 1825 - 1882

"Oude man met baard" is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Jacobus Ludovicus Cornet, created sometime between 1825 and 1882. The drawing depicts a close-up portrait of an elderly man with a long beard, wearing a cap. Cornet was known for his portraits and landscapes and his work is held in collections such as the Rijksmuseum. This drawing is a fine example of his skill in capturing the details of the human face, showing the subtle nuances of age and expression. The artist used cross-hatching to create depth and texture in the subject’s face and beard.
