His expression is serious yet exaggerated, and the ruff collar and costume suggest a burlesque or comedic figure, possibly from stage or satirical tradition. The drawing is rendered in brown ink with confident line work and areas of subtle wash for depth. It is inscribed faintly with the name “Rosetti,” though the attribution remains uncertain. The work is typical of the European School’s interest in theatrical character studies and humorous types.

European School – Portrait of a Man in Spectacles and Frilled Cap – Ink Drawing (19th Century)

4027e_8dd9f8bed9018e9

This pencil drawing by Albertino Bernhard presents a detailed study of a middle-aged male figure, viewed from the back. The artist skillfully captures the natural contours of the human body, emphasizing musculature and form through delicate shading and precise line work. The pose, both natural and introspective, highlights the anatomical accuracy and artistic sensitivity characteristic of classical figure studies. This work serves as a testament to the timeless tradition of life drawing, reflecting a deep appreciation for the human form. Albertino Bernhard (active mid-19th century) was a German artist known for his refined portrait drawings and sensitive depictions of everyday life. Working primarily in pencil and chalk, he captured subjects with a soft, expressive realism typical of the Biedermeier era, emphasizing personal emotion and quiet domestic scenes.
