Portret van Jakob Robert Steiger 1822 - 1845

This anonymous portrait of Jakob Robert Steiger, housed in the Rijksmuseum, was created sometime between 1822 and 1845. The work is a classic example of portraiture, depicting the subject in a seated pose, dressed in formal attire. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of Steiger's features and clothing. The image includes a landscape view below the portrait, which may represent a significant location in Steiger's life. The lithograph, a technique that uses a stone plate to create multiple prints, adds to the historical context of the piece.
