Jonge man en bebaarde man 1802

"Jonge man en bebaarde man" (Young Man and Bearded Man), an etching created in 1802 by Dutch artist Jan Chalon, depicts a close-up portrait of a bearded man wearing a cap, with the profile of a young man visible in the background. Chalon, known for his portraiture and landscapes, produced this work during his active years. The etched lines, particularly in the subject's beard and clothing, create a sense of texture and depth, characteristic of the artist's style. This small-scale artwork, measuring 103 mm by 97 mm, highlights the artist's interest in capturing the nuances of human expression.
