Portret van Willem Geefs 1840 - 1842

Fanny Geefs-Corr, a Belgian artist born in 1807, created this delicate pencil portrait of her brother, Willem Geefs, between 1840 and 1842. The intimate portrayal captures Willem's youthful features in a simple, yet refined manner. The use of subtle shading and fine lines creates a realistic likeness, highlighting Willem's gaze and the delicate details of his clothing. This small-scale artwork, measuring just 143 mm by 105 mm, exemplifies the artist's skill in capturing the essence of her subject.
