Portret van F. Mannheimer 1874 - 1925

"Portret van F. Mannheimer" is a portrait drawing created by Dutch artist Jan Veth between 1874 and 1925. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man in a suit, his head slightly lowered as he holds a telephone receiver to his ear. Veth's skilled use of graphite creates a realistic and intimate depiction of his subject. This work offers a glimpse into the life of F. Mannheimer, a prominent figure of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, capturing a moment of private communication in an era when the telephone was a relatively new invention.
