De vader van de kunstenaar 1916 - 1947

"De vader van de kunstenaar" (The artist's father) is a wood engraving created by Dutch artist Emilius Wilhelmus Dehé between 1916 and 1947. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a detailed profile portrait of Dehé's father, captured in a seated pose, rendered with a starkly minimalist approach. The artist's father, a prominent figure in his life, is depicted through a subtle play of light and shadow, reflecting Dehé's artistic style which leaned toward realism and portraiture.
