Portræt af en gammel mand en face 1775 - 1779

"Portræt af en gammel mand en face," a red chalk drawing by Louise-Rosalie Hémery, is a close-up depiction of an older man's face. The work, completed between 1775 and 1779, demonstrates Hémery's skill in capturing the nuanced details of age and expression through delicate lines and shading. The subject’s wrinkled skin and weathered beard are rendered with great precision, giving the viewer a glimpse into his life experiences. This intimate portrait, housed at the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst, offers insight into Hémery's talent for portraying the human condition in a realistic and evocative manner.
