Portret van Ferdinand de Braekeleer 1873 - 1909

Florent Brant's "Portret van Ferdinand de Braekeleer" is a portrait of Ferdinand de Braekeleer, a Belgian painter. The work is a lithograph, a printmaking technique that uses a flat surface to transfer an image onto paper. This technique creates a tonal effect similar to a drawing, as seen in the subtle shades of gray used to depict the subject’s features and clothing. The artist's signature, "Flor Brant", and the name of the subject, "de Braekeleer", are prominently displayed at the bottom of the print, adding to the overall historical context of this artwork.
