Fotoreproductie van een portret van een man door Han van der Kop 1933

Adriaan Bijl's 1933 photo reproduction of a portrait of a man by Han van der Kop is a striking example of realism in portraiture. The detailed graphite lines capture the man's features with precision, particularly highlighting the textured detail of his beard and the depth of his eyes. The work, measuring 170 mm x 112 mm, demonstrates Bijl's skill in capturing the essence of his subject through the medium of a photo reproduction. The artwork is a testament to the artist's mastery of representational art and the enduring legacy of portraiture.
