Portret van J.H. Adam c. 1900 - 1949

Pierre Vienot’s “Portret van J.H. Adam” (c. 1900-1949) is a pencil drawing portraying the subject from the chest up. The subject is an older man with a furrowed brow and a stoic expression, possibly suggesting a deep thoughtfulness or a quiet intensity. Vienot's keen attention to detail is evident in the precise rendering of the subject's facial features, creating a sense of realism and intimacy. This drawing is an example of Vienot's skilled use of line and shading to capture the essence of his subject, making it a compelling portrait of a man with a unique personality. The drawing is signed in the lower right corner by the artist and is a prime example of portraiture in the early 20th century.
