Zelfportret van Pieter Gerardus van Os 1786 - 1839

"Zelfportret van Pieter Gerardus van Os" is a self-portrait by Dutch artist Pieter Gerardus van Os, created between 1786 and 1839 and now part of the Rijksmuseum collection. This small, intimate drawing (110 x 85 mm) captures van Os's likeness in a casual, informal setting. The artist is depicted wearing a cap and coat, his gaze directed toward the viewer, a pipe clutched between his lips. The simple composition and subtle shading lend a sense of realism to the portrait, offering a glimpse into the artist's life and artistic process.
