Portret van een man 1890 - 1946

"Portret van een man" is a pencil sketch by Cornelis Vreedenburgh, dating from between 1890 and 1946, and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The piece is a simple but striking portrait, capturing the subject in profile, a classic artistic choice emphasizing the contours of the face. Vreedenburgh's signature style is evident in the swift, almost gestural lines that bring the subject to life. Though the artwork is not dated, it represents the artist's work in the early to mid-20th century, a period marked by a shift toward realism and capturing the essence of the individual.
