Portret Edmond de Goncourt 1890 - 1930

Philip Zilcken's "Portret Edmond de Goncourt" is a delicate pencil drawing of the renowned French writer, Edmond de Goncourt, rendered in profile. This work, created between 1890 and 1930, showcases Zilcken's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of his subject's features. The minimalist composition and masterful use of light and shadow create a striking portrait that emphasizes Edmond's intellectual and thoughtful nature. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the drawing offers a glimpse into the artistic and literary circles of late 19th-century France.
