Zelfportret van Petrus Emanuel Dielman 1810 - 1858

Pierre Emmanuel Dielman's "Self-Portrait" is a pencil drawing that captures the artist's likeness in a simple and intimate style. Created between 1810 and 1858, it is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the human form. The portrait features a young Dielman, his face turned slightly away from the viewer, conveying a sense of thoughtful introspection. This self-portrait is a key piece for understanding the artist's early work and provides insight into his artistic style. The use of pencil creates a subtle range of tones, adding depth and realism to the portrait. This small, but expressive, drawing is a powerful example of portraiture from the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the life of an artist through his own self-representation.
