"Portret van een onbekende man" (Portrait of an Unknown Man) is a pencil drawing by Auguste Danse, created in 1876. This intimate portrait, housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man with spectacles and a neatly trimmed beard. The delicate lines of the drawing capture the subject's composure and provide a glimpse into the artist's realist style. While the identity of the sitter remains a mystery, the artwork showcases Danse's skill in capturing likeness and subtle detail. The drawing, measuring 125 mm in height and 102 mm in width, offers a poignant study of an anonymous individual.
