Portret van Prosper Jolyot de Crébillon 1841 - 1885

This is a portrait of Prosper Jolyot de Crébillon by Joseph Schubert, housed in the Rijksmuseum. Schubert, a 19th-century artist, created this drawing in a realistic style, emphasizing detail and capturing the sitter's likeness. The portrait is a bust-length depiction, showing Crébillon in a cloak, and the artist employed subtle shading to create depth and dimension. The artwork's small dimensions suggest it might have been a private commission, and is a fascinating glimpse into the life of a prominent figure from the 18th century.
