1863

Dominant colour
Erasmus, after Holbein is a 1863 by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a man in a dark hat and coat, deeply focused on his work. He’s holding a quill in his right hand, writing or sketching in an open book with his left hand resting on the page. Behind him, a patterned curtain with leaf designs hangs on the wall, adding texture to the scene. The artist copied an earlier portrait by Hans Holbein, but added his own style—notice how the light and shadow play across the man’s face and hands. This version feels softer and more modern. If you like this style, look up Félix Bracquemond.
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker.
