Portret van de heer Immens Blom c. 1842 - 1880

This lithograph, *Portret van de heer Immens Blom*, is a portrait of an unknown man. Created by Pieter Wilhelmus van de Weijer between 1842 and 1880, the piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork utilizes a realistic style with soft, gray tones to depict the subject in a formal, almost somber setting. The use of detail in the man's clothing and features is evident. This artwork is a good example of a portrait from the 19th century, and it offers a glimpse into the lives of the elite in the Netherlands at the time.
