Portret van de kunstschilder en fotograaf Maurits Verveer 1836 - 1900

This charcoal drawing by Elchanon Verveer, dated between 1836 and 1900, depicts his brother, Maurits Verveer, a Dutch painter and photographer. The portrait is a powerful and intimate rendering of Maurits, captured in profile with a thoughtful expression as he holds a pipe in his hand. The use of shading and line creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting Maurits's prominent features and the details of his clothing. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the artistic world of the Verveer brothers.
