Man met baard en profil 1864 - 1904

"Man met baard en profil" is a charcoal drawing created by Frans Hermesdorf, a Dutch artist, between 1864 and 1904. This small-scale work, measuring 86 mm by 70 mm, showcases a masterful portrayal of a man in profile, his face subtly illuminated against a dark background. The delicate shading and subtle lines highlight the subject's beard and the details of his face, giving the drawing a sense of realism and intimacy. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this work offers a glimpse into Hermesdorf's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects.
