Portret van Emmanuel Hiel 1831 - 1890

This portrait of Emmanuel Hiel was created by the Belgian artist Jean Baptiste Pierre Michiels in the late 19th century. The lithograph, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures Hiel in a realistic manner, showcasing his distinguished appearance with a long beard and serious gaze. The artwork's small dimensions, measuring 125 mm by 75 mm, suggest it was likely intended for personal use or a small collection. The portrait is a testament to Michiels's skill in capturing the essence of his subject, offering viewers a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure from the era.
