Portret van een onbekende man met een pijp in de band van zijn hoed 1850 - 1910

This etching, created by Fr. van Groeningen between 1850 and 1910, depicts a close-up portrait of an unknown man wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a pipe tucked into the hatband. The subject is rendered in a realistic style, with subtle shading and detail emphasizing the contours of the man's face and clothing. The use of black and white tones creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, further enhancing the intimate nature of the portrait. This artwork is a testament to van Groeningen's skill as a printmaker and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects in a single, expressive image.
