Theod. Jorissen 1891

This portrait etching, "Theod. Jorissen" by Dutch artist Jan Veth, was created in 1891. It depicts a man in profile, his face defined by a thick beard and penetrating gaze. The artist's mastery of line and shading is evident in the depiction of the subject’s facial features and the subtle textural details of his clothing. The etching, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Veth's realist style, capturing the sitter’s likeness with a remarkable degree of realism.
