Mand med hat og cigar 1881

Frans Schwartz's 1881 etching, "Mand med hat og cigar" (Man with a Hat and Cigar), depicts a close-up portrait of an older man in a hat, captured with striking realism. The etching is characterized by detailed lines and shading, creating a sense of depth and texture in the man's weathered features, particularly his wrinkled skin and the cigar held between his lips. This work is a testament to Schwartz's ability to capture the essence of his subjects, portraying the man's age and character with poignant honesty. The etching is part of the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark.
