Portret van Max Rooses 1882

This portrait of Max Rooses, created in 1882 by Belgian artist Jean Baptiste Pierre Michiels, is a fine example of realistic portraiture. Michiels captures Rooses's likeness with detail, emphasizing his distinguished features and strong gaze. The use of hatching and cross-hatching in the print creates depth and texture in Rooses's beard, clothing, and the surrounding background. This portrait is a testament to Michiels's talent for capturing both the physical and intellectual qualities of his subjects.
