Portret van Samuel Muller c. 1874 - 1925

Jan Veth's "Portret van Samuel Muller" is a charcoal drawing of a man in a suit. The subject is rendered with meticulous detail, especially in his beard and the folds of his clothing. The muted tones of the drawing and the realistic portrayal of the sitter suggest the artist's attention to the subject and his use of realism as a style. Veth, a Dutch painter, is known for his portraits, landscapes, and cityscapes. The artwork is currently displayed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
