General Marston before 1893

"General Marston" is a small, anonymous portrait drawing of a man in a suit. The work dates back to before 1893 and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing, measuring only 58 mm by 48 mm, depicts the subject in a formal pose with a somber expression, likely a portrait commissioned for personal use. The portrait, possibly depicting a military figure, showcases the skill of the anonymous artist in capturing a realistic likeness in a small format. This piece provides insight into the visual culture of the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the depiction of individual portraits during that era.
