Portret van Hermanus Koekkoek 1827 - 1861

Dominicus Anthonius Peduzzi's "Portret van Hermanus Koekkoek" is a graphite drawing depicting the Dutch painter Hermanus Koekkoek. The artist captured a close-up portrait of Koekkoek, showcasing his long hair and beard, and his serious expression. The detailed rendering of the sitter's facial features and clothing, including a bow tie, emphasizes realism within this 19th century portrait. While Peduzzi was born in 1817 and died in 1861, the artwork spans from 1827 to 1861. The small dimensions of the artwork, 85mm by 68mm, emphasize the artist's skill in capturing the likeness of Koekkoek within a compact format.
