Portret van Aurélien-Marie Lugné Possibly 1893

This detailed portrait of Aurélien-Marie Lugné, a prominent figure in the French theatre, was created by the Dutch artist Jan Veth in possibly 1893. The artwork, displayed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts Lugné in profile, showcasing his sharp features and strong jawline. Veth's masterful use of line creates a sense of realism and depth, highlighting the subject's character and personality. The drawing's simplicity and focus on the subject's profile are characteristic of Veth's style, making it a compelling example of portraiture within the late 19th-century Dutch art scene.
