Kop van een grijsaard 1887

"Kop van een grijsaard" is an etching by Charles Théodore Bernier created in 1887. The artwork depicts a close-up portrait of an elderly man with a long white beard and a wry smile. The subject's face is illuminated by a strong light source, casting dramatic shadows and highlighting the wrinkles and texture of his skin. Bernier's mastery of etching is evident in the fine lines and detail that capture the subtle expressions of the old man's face. The artwork is a testament to the artist's skill and offers a glimpse into the life of a bygone era.
