Portret van Johannes de Haart 1850

Gijsbertus Craeyvanger's 1850 pencil drawing, "Portret van Johannes de Haart," depicts a man in profile, seated and holding a pipe in his right hand. The drawing is characterized by loose and gestural lines, capturing the sitter's likeness with a sense of immediacy. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Craeyvanger's skill in portraiture and his ability to convey personality through his subtle use of line.
