Elisabeth Alida Haanen, a member of a prominent family of artists, captures the profile of her contemporary with precision. The work relies on the stark contrast between the solid black form of the subject and the neutral paper background, a technique that emphasises the distinct outline of the sitter's features and hairstyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is framed by simple, hand-drawn ink lines, which provide a sense of order and focus. Above the silhouette, the word 'Schilder' (painter) is written in a delicate script, identifying the profession of the subject. Below the portrait, the signature of Cornelis Springer is rendered in an elaborate, calligraphic hand, adding a personal touch to the piece. The inclusion of the number '88' in the upper corner suggests this work was once part of a larger collection or album of portraits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaanen demonstrates a refined control of her medium. The subtle application of colour within the silhouette, particularly around the collar and cravat, provides a hint of depth to an otherwise flat representation. This piece offers a glimpse into the social and artistic circles of the Netherlands during the 1830s and 1840s. It reflects the period's interest in personal identity and the documentation of artistic peers through intimate, portable portrait formats. The print maintains the original aesthetic of the ink-and-paper study, preserving the historical character of the document.\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\/verhaal-van-de-jongen-jantje-nr-5-pieter-van-loon\" 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;\"\u003eVerhaal van de jongen Jantje, nr. 5 - Pieter van Loon — Pieter van Loon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/manfred-and-the-alpine-witch-john-martin\" 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;\"\u003eManfred and the Alpine Witch - John Martin — John Martin\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":58455548494159,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58455560618319,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58455560651087,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58455560683855,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58455560716623,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58455560749391,"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":58455560782159,"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":58455560814927,"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":58455560847695,"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":58455560880463,"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":58455560913231,"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":58455560945999,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Silhouetportret-van-Cornelis-Springer_Poster_CompositorV1_1786246570378.jpg?v=1786488860","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/silhouetportret-van-cornelis-springer-elisabeth-alida-haanen","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
