Oude visscher 1885 - 1931

"Oude visscher" is a portrait of an elderly fisherman, created by Dutch artist Frederika Henriëtte Broeksmit between 1885 and 1931. The etching depicts the subject's weathered face and furrowed brow, hinting at a life spent at sea. Broeksmit's expressive, dynamic brushstrokes, reminiscent of Expressionism, give the work a sense of energy and movement. The piece is a testament to Broeksmit's skill in capturing the human condition with depth and sensitivity.
