Portret van Johannes de Mare c. 1816 - 1949

This anonymous engraving, likely created between 1816 and 1949, depicts Johannes de Mare. The small-scale portrait (80mm x 65mm) displays the sitter in a simple, yet refined, pose. The focus on de Mare’s facial features, particularly his eyes and facial hair, suggests a focus on individuality and likeness in the tradition of portraiture. This print, though lacking specific attribution, contributes to the historical documentation of a notable individual. The engraved lines and stippling provide a realistic rendition, typical of the era, and the monochromatic palette creates a sense of formality.
