Auguste Danse's 1891 etching, *Portret van Alberdingk Thijm*, depicts a close-up portrait of the Dutch writer and theologian. The detailed rendering of Alberdingk Thijm's face and beard, along with the use of light and shadow, creates a realistic and intimate portrayal. The etching is signed and dated by Danse, and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This artwork is a valuable example of the 19th-century portraiture style, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the likeness and character of the sitter.
