Portret van Franz Dingelstedt 1824 - 1899

This portrait of Franz Dingelstedt, a German poet, playwright and theater director, was created by C. Dittmarsch, a German artist born in 1814. The artwork is a lithograph, a printmaking technique that uses a flat surface to transfer an image onto paper. The lithograph depicts Dingelstedt in a formal pose, with a stern expression and a dark suit and bow tie. The piece captures the details of the subject's face, such as his furrowed brows and sharp cheekbones, highlighting the man's intellectual nature. The medium of lithography, known for its ability to capture fine detail and create a sense of realism, is evident in this portrayal.
