Portret van een onbekende jongen 1871 - 1909

"Portret van een onbekende jongen" (Portrait of an Unknown Boy) is an etching by Dutch artist Willem Albracht, created between 1871 and 1909. The artwork features a close-up portrait of a young boy with a serious expression. The subject's face is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the eyes and the delicate features of youth. The dark background contrasts with the boy's light skin and provides a sense of depth and isolation. Albracht's etching technique is evident in the subtle lines and tonal gradations that define the boy's features and the textured quality of the background. This intimate portrait captures the essence of youthful innocence and vulnerability.
