Oude visscher 1885 - 1931

"Oude visscher" (Old Fisherman) is a lithograph by Dutch artist Frederika Henriëtte Broeksmit, created sometime between 1885 and 1931. The artwork, measuring 545 mm in height and 364 mm in width, depicts a seated, elderly man, possibly a fisherman, in profile, revealing a detailed study of his weathered face and form. Broeksmit's use of graphite lines and subtle shading creates a sense of realism and quiet contemplation, highlighting the passage of time and the resilience of the human spirit.
