Mansportret, mogelijk een zelfportret 1809 - 1850

This charcoal drawing titled "Mansportret, mogelijk een zelfportret" depicts a man, possibly the artist Jean Augustin Daiwaille himself. Created between 1809 and 1850, the portrait showcases the artist's skill in capturing realistic details through subtle shading. The man's features are rendered with precision, from his wavy hair to his neatly buttoned jacket. While the identity of the sitter remains uncertain, the piece offers a glimpse into the artistic practice of Daiwaille during the early 19th century. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
