Portret van een man 1890 - 1946

"Portret van een man" (Portrait of a Man) is a pencil drawing by Cornelis Vreedenburgh, a Dutch artist. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man’s face, rendered in quick, expressive strokes. The subject appears to be smoking a cigarette, giving the work a casual and intimate feel. Vreedenburgh was known for his portraits, and this work reflects his ability to capture personality and essence with a minimal amount of detail. The drawing is an excellent example of his artistic style and his interest in capturing fleeting moments in everyday life.
