Heer met een hoge hoed 1896

"Heer met een hoge hoed" (Gentleman with a Top Hat), created in 1896 by Auguste Danse, is a detailed etching depicting the face of a man wearing a top hat. The use of black and white shades create a sense of realism in the portrait, focusing on the man's features and emphasizing his clothing. Danse, a prominent artist of the late 19th century, was known for his meticulous technique and ability to capture human expressions. This etching is a fine example of his work, reflecting his mastery of the medium and capturing the essence of his subject. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
