Portret van Ernest van Dijck before 1891

This small, intimate portrait of Ernest van Dijck, likely created before 1891, showcases the work of an anonymous artist. The portrait is painted in a simple, realistic style, highlighting van Dijck's features. The artist uses a yellow and gold color scheme to create a soft, warm glow around the subject's head, suggesting a sense of reverence or admiration. The small size and personal nature of the work suggest it was intended for private viewing, perhaps as a cherished memento of the sitter. The portrait's unique combination of visual elements and its limited dimensions make it a fascinating example of 19th-century portraiture.
