Karl Mantzius 1901

Heinrich Dohm's 1901 etching titled "Karl Mantzius" is a striking portrait of the Danish art historian and critic. The artwork depicts Mantzius in profile, his face illuminated by a soft light, suggesting a thoughtful, almost melancholy expression. Dohm's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and realism, capturing the subject's distinctive features with precision. The etching is a testament to Dohm's skills in capturing the essence of his subjects, and it offers a glimpse into the world of Danish art and intellectual life at the turn of the 20th century.
