Portret van Fr. Mar. de Vries van Heyst. c. 1851 - 1883

This lithograph, created between 1851 and 1883 by Johan Hendrik Hoffmeister, depicts Fr. Mar. de Vries van Heyst. Hoffmeister, a Dutch artist born in 1823, is known for his detailed portraits and landscapes. The subject is shown seated, wearing a formal suit, and his gaze is directed towards the viewer. This piece, measuring 500 mm in height and 330 mm in width, showcases Hoffmeister's mastery of depicting realistic expressions and subtle details. The use of chiaroscuro, creating contrast between light and shadow, adds depth and dimension to the portrait, making it a compelling study of the sitter.
