Executed in graphite, the work demonstrates the artist's focus on structural form and tonal modelling. The composition is tight, framing the head and shoulders to ensure the viewer's attention remains fixed on the subject's features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Teeseling employs a methodical approach to shading, using the graphite to build volume across the cheekbones, nose, and jawline. The eyes are rendered with particular care, capturing a steady, contemplative gaze that defines the character of the piece. The hair is suggested through broader, directional strokes, providing a contrast to the finer detail found in the facial features. The collar of the shirt is sketched with minimal lines, serving as a simple anchor for the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated during the early 1940s, the drawing reflects a period of introspection common in portraiture of the era. The artist avoids unnecessary ornamentation, preferring to rely on the interplay of light and shadow to define the planes of the face. The paper surface remains largely untouched, which allows the graphite marks to stand out with clarity. This work provides an insight into the artist's technical process and his ability to capture a likeness through disciplined observation. The signature and date, located in the lower left corner, confirm the provenance and the specific moment of the work's creation. It is a piece that rewards close inspection, revealing the subtle variations in pressure and stroke that constitute the artist's hand.\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\/female-model-vilhelm-lundstrom-2\" 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;\"\u003eFemale Model - Vilhelm Lundstrøm — Vilhelm Lundstrøm\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/proun-4b-el-lissitzky\" 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;\"\u003eProun 4B - El Lissitzky — El Lissitzky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cor van Teeseling","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58463872876879,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58463904792911,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58463904825679,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58463904858447,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58463904891215,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58463904923983,"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":58463904956751,"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":58463904989519,"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":58463905022287,"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":58463905055055,"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":58463905087823,"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":58463905120591,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Zelfportret_-B-1-1-14-februari_Poster_CompositorV1_1786269042142.jpg?v=1786577545","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/zelfportret-b-1-1-14-februari-cor-van-teeseling","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
