This caricature portrait of Dutch artist David Joseph Bles was created by Elchanon Verveer between 1836 and 1900. The drawing, which is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts Bles in a humorous style, emphasizing his tall, thin figure and long hair. Verveer's use of charcoal creates a striking contrast between the light background and Bles's dark attire, adding to the caricature's effect. This piece offers a glimpse into the world of artistic caricature in the Netherlands during the 19th century, and demonstrates Verveer's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects.
