Self-Portrait 1835

Johannes Cornelis Haccou's 1835 "Self-Portrait" is a striking example of the artist's skill in drawing. Executed in charcoal on paper, the artwork captures the artist's likeness with a sense of realism. The use of shading and contour lines brings depth and dimensionality to the portrait, highlighting the subject's features, particularly the piercing gaze. The composition is simple yet impactful, emphasizing the artist's contemplative expression. This intimate self-portrait serves as a testament to Haccou's talent and a glimpse into the artist's personal world.
