Portret van een onbekende man, mogelijk Cousin 1883

This 1883 portrait of an unknown man, possibly a cousin, is a delicate work by Belgian artist Auguste Danse. The lithograph, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the subject's likeness with fine detail, highlighting the man's thoughtful expression and distinguished beard. Danse, who lived from 1829 to 1929, is known for his realistic and often intimate portraiture. While the subject's identity remains a mystery, the work offers a glimpse into the artist's talent and the social life of the late 19th century.
