Portret van Elchanon Verveer 1856

"Portret van Elchanon Verveer" (1856) is a self-portrait by the Dutch artist Elchanon Verveer. The drawing depicts Verveer in profile, with his signature in the lower right corner. The artist's signature, "EV 1856," and the quick, gestural lines suggest a sketch-like quality, highlighting the immediacy of the artist's observation. This intimate portrayal of a fellow artist can be found in the Rijksmuseum and is a fine example of Verveer's work.
