{"product_id":"self-portrait-petrus-franciscus-greive","title":"Self-Portrait - Petrus Franciscus Greive","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined graphite self-portrait by the Dutch artist Petrus Franciscus Greive, capturing his likeness with technical precision and a calm, direct gaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis graphite study presents a self-portrait of the Dutch artist Petrus Franciscus Greive. Executed with a disciplined hand, the drawing captures the artist in a three-quarter view, his gaze directed towards the viewer with a calm, analytical expression. Greive, who was active in Amsterdam during the mid-nineteenth century, demonstrates a high level of technical proficiency in his handling of the medium. The soft, layered graphite strokes define the contours of his face and the texture of his hair, while the shading around the collar and jacket provides a sense of volume and form against the plain background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist is depicted in the formal attire typical of the period, featuring a high-collared shirt and a dark, structured coat. The composition is focused entirely on the subject, avoiding extraneous detail to maintain a clear connection between the artist and the observer. Greive was known for his genre scenes and portraits, and this work offers a glimpse into his personal approach to self-representation. The signature in the lower right corner confirms the authorship, rendered in a fluid, cursive script that complements the overall aesthetic of the drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a piece of nineteenth-century Dutch portraiture, this work reflects the period's interest in individual character and psychological presence. The use of graphite allows for subtle gradations of tone, which Greive employs to model the features of his face with precision. The paper remains largely unadorned, ensuring that the focus remains on the artist's likeness. This print reproduction maintains the delicate quality of the original graphite marks, offering a clear view of the artist's draftsmanship. It is a quiet, contemplative piece that fits well within a collection of historical portraiture or studies of nineteenth-century European art.\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=\"\/de\/products\/portrait-of-yuri-fyodorovich-samarin-vasily-tropinin\" 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 Yuri Fyodorovich Samarin - Vasily Tropinin — Vasily Andreevich Tropinin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/the-falcon-edwin-henry-landseer\" 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 Falcon - Edwin Henry Landseer — Edwin Henry Landseer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Petrus Franciscus Greive","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58758817612111,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58758831702351,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58758831735119,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58758831767887,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58758831800655,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58758831833423,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58758831866191,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58758831898959,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58758831931727,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58758831964495,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58758831997263,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58758832030031,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Self-Portrait_Poster_CompositorV1_1789228790856.jpg?v=1789229170","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/self-portrait-petrus-franciscus-greive","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
