Portret van de vader van de kunstenaar 1863

Auguste Danse's 1863 etching "Portret van de vader van de kunstenaar" depicts the artist's father in a close-up portrait. The etching's delicate lines and subtle shading capture the sitter's likeness with remarkable detail, including the wrinkles around his eyes and the texture of his skin. This intimate portrait, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the life and family of a prominent 19th-century artist.
