Portret van de beeldhouwer Lambertus Zijl 1874 - 1925

This charcoal portrait, created by Dutch artist Jan Veth, portrays the sculptor Lambertus Zijl. The drawing, likely a preliminary study for a larger work, captures Zijl in profile, emphasizing his strong facial features. Veth's characteristic style, with its loose, expressive lines, is evident in the portrayal of the subject's hat and beard, creating a sense of dynamism within the composition. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Veth's skilled use of drawing as a medium, revealing his talent for capturing the likeness of his subjects.
