Portret van F. Magnée 1824 - 1886

Charles Baugniet's "Portret van F. Magnée," created between 1824 and 1886, showcases the artist's talent for portraiture. The lithograph depicts F. Magnée, a prominent figure in the field of calligraphy, seated in a chair with a serious expression. Baugniet masterfully captures Magnée's likeness, using subtle shading to render his features and clothing with detail. This work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the life and times of a prominent calligrapher during the 19th century.
