Portret van een onbekende man 1710 - 1772

"Portret van een onbekende man" is a red chalk drawing by Petrus Johannes van Reysschoot, a Dutch artist active in the 18th century. The artwork, likely created between 1710 and 1772, depicts an unknown man in a three-quarter profile view. His attire, with a flowing wig and a voluminous coat, suggests he was a man of status and wealth, although his identity remains a mystery. Van Reysschoot's drawing style, characterized by delicate lines and subtle shading, gives the work a sense of realism and intimacy. This piece stands as a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the likeness of his subjects.
