Portret van een onbekende man 1829 - 1863

"Portret van een onbekende man" (Portrait of an Unknown Man) is a lithograph created by Dutch artist Adrianus Johannes Ehnle between 1829 and 1863. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man in a formal suit, seated with a book in his hand. Ehnle, known for his portraits and landscapes, captures the subject's likeness with a level of detail that suggests the sitter was likely a person of significance. The lithograph’s realistic portrayal and careful attention to detail are characteristic of the Romantic period, a movement that celebrated individual expression and emotional intensity.
