Portret van Cornelis Troost 1841

Coenraad Hamburger's 1841 drawing, "Portret van Cornelis Troost," is a graphite portrait of the Dutch painter Cornelis Troost. The drawing shows Troost in a three-quarter view, with a focus on his face and upper torso. Troost has a powdered wig, and his attire is typical of the 18th century. The drawing's small dimensions, measuring only 107 mm high and 82 mm wide, suggest a study or preparatory work. Hamburger, a Dutch artist known for his portraits and historical paintings, captured Troost's likeness with detailed precision in this fine artwork.
