Portret van Johannes Reekers 1841

Coenraad Hamburger’s 1841 drawing, *Portret van Johannes Reekers*, showcases the artist’s skill in capturing likeness and detail. The graphite drawing depicts the sitter, Johannes Reekers, in a bust-length portrait, his features rendered with precision, and his long hair falling over his shoulders. The delicate shading and refined lines create a sense of realism, typical of Hamburger's portraiture style. This artwork offers a glimpse into the life of Reekers, and the artistic practice of Hamburger during the 19th century.
