Mandsportæt 1829 - 1899

"Mandsportæt" is an 1829-1899 etching by Danish artist H.P. Hansen. The artwork, currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, features a close-up portrait of an elderly man with a long white beard, wearing spectacles and a black hat. The detailed rendering of the man's features and the subtle shading techniques used create a realistic and intimate portrayal of the sitter. The etching's small dimensions (180 mm x 138 mm) contribute to its sense of intimacy and personal focus.
