Portret van een grijsaard, en profil 1781 - 1822

"Portret van een grijsaard, en profil" is a small, detailed pencil drawing by Dutch artist Hermanus Fock, created between 1781 and 1822. It depicts an elderly man's profile in a simple, yet striking, composition, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the essence of the subject. The drawing's delicate lines and subtle shading contribute to the realistic portrayal of the man's wrinkled face, flowing beard, and receding hairline. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this piece is a testament to Fock's mastery of portraiture and his ability to evoke a sense of gravitas and wisdom in his subjects.
