Zelfportret van Jan Brandes 1803 Possibly 1803 - 1811

This self-portrait, created by Dutch artist Jan Brandes between 1803 and 1811, depicts the artist in a somber yet realistic manner. The use of graphite creates a sense of depth and detail, particularly in the texture of Brandes' clothing and the subtle shading of his face. This intimate portrayal offers a glimpse into the artist's personality and his artistic practice during a period of significant change in Dutch art.
