Jongen met een druiventros Possibly 1836 - 1837

"Jongen met een druiventros" (Boy with a Bunch of Grapes), a mezzotint by Samuel Cousins (1801-1887), depicts a young boy in a leopard-skin cloak holding up a bunch of grapes. The portrait, likely created between 1836-1837, showcases Cousins’ mastery of the mezzotint technique, creating a highly detailed and realistic image. The circular framing, with a hazy background, further emphasizes the boy's central presence. This artwork is a prime example of Romantic era portraiture, capturing a moment of youthful innocence and beauty.
