"Mansportret" is a drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, created between 1840 and 1880. The artwork is a study of a man in profile, wearing a hat and coat. The loose lines and brushstrokes suggest a quick sketch, capturing the essence of the subject. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a testament to Tavenraat's talent for capturing the human form in a simple and expressive way. The use of brown ink on paper adds to the intimacy of the artwork and its sense of immediacy.
