Portret van Jan Steen 1853 - 1895

Johannes van der Kellen's "Portret van Jan Steen" is a black and white engraving depicting the Dutch painter Jan Steen. Created between 1853 and 1895, the artwork captures Steen in a seated pose, his gaze directed towards the viewer. The engraving's detail is evident in the rendering of Steen's clothing, particularly the white collar and the subtle shadows on his face. This piece reflects the revival of interest in Dutch Golden Age masters in the 19th century and serves as a testament to Johannes van der Kellen's skill as an engraver.
