Dr. Schaepman in de Tweede Kamer 1887

"Dr. Schaepman in de Tweede Kamer" is a graphite drawing by Pieter de Josselin de Jong, created in 1887. The drawing depicts Dr. A.A.H. Schaepman, a Dutch Catholic politician, standing in the Second Chamber of the Dutch Parliament. De Jong captures Dr. Schaepman's solemn expression and the formality of the parliamentary setting through a minimalist and detailed style. This drawing is part of a series of portraits by de Jong that documented prominent figures in Dutch society. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the political landscape of the Netherlands in the late 19th century.
