EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of a Man in an Arm Chair," is a masterpiece by the 19th century Dutch artist Christian Josi. Published in 1821, this etching on paper is part of Josi's collection "Dessins d'apres les Principaux Maitres Hollandais et Flamands" (Drawings after the Principal Masters of the Netherlands and Flanders). The subject of the portrait is a man of the time, dressed in brown cloak and grey hat, with a collared shirt and a simple brown tunic. He sits comfortably in an arched armchair, looking away from the viewer with a thoughtful expression. The man's posture and the soft folds of his clothing suggest a sense of ease and relaxation. The influence of the Dutch master Paul Rembrandt van Ryn is evident in Josi's work, with the use of chiaroscuro and the strong contrasts of light and shadow. The man's face is illuminated by the light streaming in from the window, while the rest of the scene is shrouded in shadow. The intricate details of the man's clothing, the texture of the armchair, and the subtle shading of the folds all contribute to the richness and depth of the image. This portrait is a testament to the artistic heritage of the Low Countries, and a reminder of the enduring influence of the Dutch and Flemish masters on Western art. The use of soft ground etching adds to the delicacy and detail of the print, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. Whether displayed in an art institute, museum, or private collection, this portrait continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its timeless beauty and masterful execution.
