Mannenkop met gesloten ogen 1759

This etching, created by Danish artist Christian Bernhard Rode in 1759, depicts a close-up portrait of a man's face with closed eyes and a thick beard. The detailed rendering of the facial features and the textured depiction of the beard suggest a focus on realism, characteristic of Rode's style. The stark contrast between the light and dark areas of the image adds to the dramatic effect of the portrait. The artwork, titled "Mannenkop met gesloten ogen", is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
