Hoofd van een oude man, en profil 1867 - 1890

"Hoofd van een oude man, en profil" (Head of an old man, in profile) is an etching by Dutch artist Philip Zilcken, created between 1867 and 1890. The artwork, which is housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a close-up portrait of an elderly man's face. The subject's weathered features and the detailed depiction of his wrinkles and beard create a sense of realism. The piece demonstrates Zilcken's talent for capturing the subtle nuances of human expression through the expressive power of line. This etching offers a glimpse into the artist's exploration of aging and the passage of time.
