Portret van een onbekende man 1864 - 1911

Frans Lauwers, a Belgian artist born in 1854 and died in 1931, created this etching titled "Portret van een onbekende man" sometime between 1864 and 1911. The etching portrays the bust of an unidentified man, with the subject dressed in a dark coat with a white collar, wearing a cap. The man's face is turned towards the viewer, with a faint smile on his lips. The artist's careful use of lines creates a sense of depth and realism in the portrait.
