Karikatuurportret van de kunstschilder Hermanus Gerhardus Wolbers 1870 - 1899

This charcoal drawing, titled "Karikatuurportret van de kunstschilder Hermanus Gerhardus Wolbers," is a caricature portrait of the Dutch painter Hermanus Gerhardus Wolbers by the artist Elchanon Verveer. Created between 1870 and 1899, the work depicts Wolbers in a standing pose, his arms crossed, and his face slightly turned to the side. Verveer’s use of exaggeration and humor in the portrait underscores the satirical nature of caricature, highlighting Wolbers's distinctive features with an exaggerated sense of proportion. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
