Portret van Lodewijk Roersch 1864 - 1911

Frans Lauwers, a Belgian artist born in 1854, created a portrait of Lodewijk Roersch in 1864, a drawing of a man wearing a suit and bowtie. The artist depicted Roersch in a realistic manner, capturing his facial features with precise detail. This drawing showcases Lauwers' skill in portraiture, a common genre in 19th-century art, and exemplifies the realism style. The artwork is a compelling example of how artists captured the essence of their subjects through masterful use of line and shading. The drawing, measuring 160mm by 118mm, highlights the individual character of the sitter, making it a significant piece within Lauwers' oeuvre.
