Oude man met baard met de blik naar beneden gericht: driekwart, naar rechts 1798 - 1837

Ernst Willem Jan Bagelaar, a Dutch artist born in 1775, created this small, detailed drawing of an elderly man with a beard. The man's head is turned to the right, with his eyes looking down. The artist used delicate, light lines to render the man's features, capturing his age and the texture of his beard. The drawing, measuring only 56 mm in height and 50 mm in width, is a testament to Bagelaar's skill in capturing the human form with subtle detail. This small, yet expressive piece dates from between 1798 and 1837, just before the artist's death in 1837.
