Chaim Knorringa 1936

This charcoal drawing by Henk Henriët, titled “Chaim Knorringa,” is a poignant portrait of a man, likely a close friend of the artist. Created in 1936, the work captures the subject's gaze and features in a realistic style, with a focus on subtle shading and meticulous detail. Henriët, a Dutch artist known for his expressive portraits, was tragically killed during World War II, making this piece a testament to both his skill and the personal impact of the war. The drawing is currently part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam.
