Portret van een man 1871

This 1871 etching by Jules Ferdinand Jacquemart, "Portret van een man" depicts a seated man in a dark coat with a white collar, his head turned slightly to the right. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the man's textured clothing, beard, and hair. The engraving's strong contrast between light and dark tones is characteristic of the etching technique, creating a dramatic and realistic portrait. The small size of the work, 200mm x 148mm, enhances its intimacy. Jacquemart was known for his skill in etching, and this print showcases his mastery of the medium.
