Portret van mijnheer Mélot 1854

"Portret van mijnheer Mélot" is a portrait of an older gentleman, possibly a wealthy businessman, drawn in a realistic style by the Dutch artist Joseph Schubert in 1854. The subject appears to be seated in a chair and is wearing a dark coat over a white shirt with a high collar, as was the fashion in the mid-19th century. The portrait exhibits a skillful use of shading, creating a sense of volume and depth. This lithograph, housed in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to Schubert's talent for capturing the likeness and character of his subjects.
