Portret van een onbekende man 1860

"Portret van een onbekende man" (Portrait of an Unknown Man) is an 1860 engraving by Leopold Löwenstam, a Dutch artist known for his portraits. The artwork, measuring 307 mm by 244 mm, depicts an unidentified man in a finely detailed engraving style. He is portrayed in a three-quarter view, with his head turned slightly to the left. The man's clothing and elaborate wig suggest a prominent individual from the 18th century, a time when portraiture was a popular art form for depicting the wealthy and influential. This piece, likely created for a private collection, showcases Löwenstam's skillful use of light and shadow to create a realistic and engaging portrait.
