Portret van de schilder Jan Toorop 1874 - 1925

Jan Veth's "Portret van de schilder Jan Toorop" is a delicate pencil sketch of the Dutch symbolist painter, Jan Toorop. Created in 1874-1925, the portrait captures Toorop's profile, with a focus on his facial features and hair. The loose and expressive lines suggest a quick but insightful observation of Toorop's appearance, emphasizing the artist's distinctive character. This small-scale work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, highlights Veth's ability to convey a sense of personality through minimal detail, typical of his artistic style.
