Portret van B. van der Meulen 1916

"Portret van B. van der Meulen" is a 1916 portrait drawing by Dutch artist Jo Koster (1869-1944). The piece depicts B. van der Meulen seated in an ornate chair, with a relaxed, almost introspective, expression. The composition emphasizes the subject, with the figure rendered in detailed lines and the background left somewhat simplified. This style of portraiture is typical of Koster's work, known for its realistic portrayal of individuals. This particular piece is a fine example of the artist's skill in capturing the personality of their subjects through subtle details and subtle shading.
