Mansbuste in ovaal 1829 - 1845

"Mansbuste in ovaal," a lithograph by Henricus Wilhelmus Couwenberg (1814-1845), is a portrait of an unknown man. The artwork is a close-up of the subject's head and shoulders, emphasizing the sitter’s facial features, captured in a realistic style. The artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, and the print’s small dimensions (158 mm x 124 mm) suggest its intended use for private or personal viewing. Couwenberg’s lithograph, created between 1829-1845, showcases his skill in capturing the nuances of human likeness through the medium of printmaking.
