Portret van Lugné Poe 1874 - 1925

"Portret van Lugné Poe" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Jan Veth, created between 1874 and 1925. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a profile portrait of the French actor Lugné-Poe, capturing his distinct features with delicate yet precise strokes. The artwork's intimate scale and focus on the sitter's face emphasize the personal nature of portraiture, highlighting Veth's ability to convey character and emotion through simple, yet evocative lines. The drawing is a testament to Veth's talent as a portraitist and a valuable document of the artistic community of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
