Description
A poignant self-portrait by Dutch resistance artist Cor van Teeseling, drawn in graphite while he was held in a prison cell in 1942.
This portrait is a work by the Dutch artist Cor van Teeseling, created during his final days. The drawing, executed in graphite, captures the artist in a state of quiet introspection. The composition focuses on the head and shoulders, with the artist's gaze directed slightly away from the viewer. The shading is subtle, using soft transitions to define the contours of the face and the texture of the clothing.
Van Teeseling was a member of the Dutch resistance during the Second World War. This specific drawing was produced while he was held in a prison cell, awaiting execution. The date inscribed on the work, 10 January 1942, provides a direct link to the circumstances of its creation. The technical execution reflects a disciplined approach to portraiture, despite the extreme conditions under which it was produced. The lines are precise, and the modelling of the features demonstrates a clear understanding of light and form.
As a historical document, the piece offers a view into the personal experience of a resistance member. The artist's signature and the date are visible in the lower right corner, serving as a record of his presence in the cell. The work is devoid of ornamentation, focusing entirely on the subject. The muted tones of the graphite contribute to the sombre atmosphere of the image. This print is a reproduction of the original drawing, maintaining the clarity and tonal range of the artist's pencil work. It is a piece that invites quiet observation, reflecting the gravity of the period in which it was made.
