Portret van Gustave Adolphe Simoneau c. 1832 - 1900

"Portret van Gustave Adolphe Simoneau" is a portrait drawing created by Adolphe Frédéric Nett, a Belgian artist who lived from 1822 to an unknown death date. The artwork, located at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, features a bust-length portrait of Gustave Adolphe Simoneau, a man with a full head of wavy hair and a mustache, rendered in fine lines and hatching techniques. The subject's attire, a dark jacket and a white cravat, suggests a gentleman of the 19th century. The artwork's small size, measuring 68 mm in height and 53 mm in width, hints at its likely function as a private or personal portrait, potentially a memento or a keepsake for Simoneau or his family.
