Elisabeth Alida Haanen, a Dutch artist known for her skill in genre painting and portraiture, executed this work with precise control of ink and wash. The silhouette technique, popular during the early nineteenth century, relies on the reduction of the subject to a solid dark form against a light background. This method prioritises the clarity of the facial outline and the specific shape of the subject's attire over internal detail.\n\nThe composition is framed by a simple, hand-drawn rectangular border, which provides a sense of structure to the page. Above the portrait, the word 'Schilder' (painter) is written, identifying the profession of the sitter. Below the figure, the name 'Ferd. de Braekeleer' appears in elegant cursive script, confirming the identity of the subject. The work reflects the period's interest in personal identification and the documentation of artistic circles within the Low Countries.\n\nHaanen was part of a notable family of artists, and her work often displays a technical discipline common to the period. The use of a monochromatic palette focuses the viewer's attention on the specific contours of the profile, capturing the likeness of the sitter through minimal means. This piece serves as a historical record of the social and professional connections between artists in the nineteenth century. The paper shows signs of age, consistent with its provenance, and the ink remains clear and legible. It is a representative example of the portraiture practices that preceded the widespread adoption of photography, where the silhouette offered an accessible and immediate method for recording a person's features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-a-man-francesco-hayez\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of a Man - Francesco Hayez — Francesco Hayez\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/windermere-during-the-regatta-david-cox\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWindermere during the Regatta - David Cox — David Cox\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Elisabeth Alida Haanen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57869332447567,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57869336215887,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57869336248655,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57869336281423,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57869336314191,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Silhouetportret-van-Ferdinand-I-De-Braekeleer_Poster_CompositorV1_1780780447172.jpg?v=1780780646"},{"product_id":"silhouetportret-van-george-andries-roth-elisabeth-alida-haanen","title":"Silhouetportret van George Andries Roth - Elisabeth Alida Haanen","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined silhouette portrait of George Andries Roth by Dutch artist Elisabeth Alida Haanen, featuring clean lines and a classic profile composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis work is a silhouette portrait of George Andries Roth, executed by the Dutch artist Elisabeth Alida Haanen. The portrait captures the subject in profile, a format that gained popularity during the early nineteenth century as a method for recording likenesses before the widespread adoption of photography. Haanen employs a solid black ink fill to define the facial features and attire, creating a stark contrast against the cream-coloured paper background. The precision of the outline conveys the specific physiognomy of the sitter, while the minimal use of colour within the silhouette itself maintains the focus on the subject's profile.\n\nThe composition is framed by a simple, hand-drawn rectangular border, which provides a sense of structure to the page. Below the silhouette, the subject's name is inscribed in a cursive script, adding a personal dimension to the document. The inclusion of the word 'Schilder' (painter) at the top suggests this may have been part of a larger collection or a series documenting individuals of a specific profession. Haanen, who was known for her genre paintings and portraits, demonstrates here a mastery of the silhouette medium, balancing the economy of line with the necessity of capturing a recognisable likeness. The work reflects the period's interest in personal identity and the documentation of the middle class.

The work remains a clear record of the individual, preserved through the careful hand of an artist known for her technical skill in small-scale portraiture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/they-pare-francisco-goya\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThey Pare - Francisco Goya — Francisco Goya\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-arms-merchant-edwin-lord-weeks\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Arms Merchant - Edwin Lord Weeks — Edwin Lord Weeks\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Elisabeth Alida Haanen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57873116135759,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57873117348175,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57873117380943,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57873117413711,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57873117446479,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Silhouetportret-van-Reinier-Craeyvanger_Poster_CompositorV1_1780782377013.jpg?v=1780899257"},{"product_id":"silhouetportret-van-gabriel-henriques-de-castro-elisabeth-alida-haanen","title":"Silhouetportret van Gabriël Henriques de Castro - Elisabeth Alida Haanen","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined silhouette portrait of Gabriël Henriques de Castro by Dutch artist Elisabeth Alida Haanen, capturing the subject in profile with minimalist precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis silhouette portrait depicts Gabriël Henriques de Castro, rendered with the precision characteristic of nineteenth-century Dutch portraiture. Elisabeth Alida Haanen, a member of a prominent family of artists, utilised the silhouette format to capture the essential profile of her subject. The work relies on the stark contrast between the solid black form of the sitter and the neutral, cream-toned paper background. \n\nThe composition is framed by a simple rectangular border, which directs the viewer's attention to the sharp outline of the subject's features. Haanen captures the specific details of the sitter's attire, including the high collar and cravat, which were standard for the period. The inclusion of the subject's name in elegant, flowing script at the base provides a clear identification, a common practice in portrait studies of this era. \n\nSilhouettes gained popularity during the early nineteenth century as an accessible and refined method of documentation. This piece demonstrates the technical control required to achieve a likeness through shape alone, without the aid of internal shading or colour. The artist avoids unnecessary ornamentation, allowing the clean lines of the profile to define the character of the sitter. The presence of the number 14 at the top right suggests this work was once part of a larger collection or catalogue of portraits. This print offers a glimpse into the social history of the Netherlands, documenting individuals through a medium that prioritises clarity and form. The work remains a fine example of the period's interest in personal identity and the preservation of likeness through minimalist artistic techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/they-pare-francisco-goya\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThey Pare - Francisco Goya — Francisco Goya\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-arms-merchant-edwin-lord-weeks\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Arms Merchant - Edwin Lord Weeks — Edwin Lord Weeks\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Elisabeth Alida Haanen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57873116758351,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57873117872463,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57873117905231,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57873117937999,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57873117970767,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Silhouetportret-van-Gabri-l-Henriques-de-Castro_Poster_CompositorV1_1780782377025.jpg?v=1780899278"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/collections\/elisabeth-alida-haanen.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
