Man met een capuchon en een baard 1836 - 1873

This detailed drawing titled "Man met een capuchon en een baard," meaning "Man with a hood and beard," was created by Johann Wilhelm Friedrich Kachel between 1836 and 1873. The artist, known for his realistic depictions, focuses on the face of the man partially concealed by a hooded garment. The drawing, executed in black ink on paper, is a study in light and shadow with the artist using crosshatching to create depth and texture. The intimate portrait, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artist's skill in capturing human features.
