The artwork titled “Portrait of Christian Leibbrandt” was crafted by Theo van Doesburg in 1906. Executed with oil on canvas, the painting measures 28 x 33 cm and belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement. It is a portrait genre piece and is currently housed in a private collection.
In the artwork, the subject is depicted in profile, dressed in somber clothing with a hat that casts a shadow over his features. The use of muted tones and the interplay of light and shadow bring a contemplative and introspective quality to the portrayal. The artist’s brushstrokes are evident, adding texture and depth to the figure’s face and attire, allowing the viewer to engage with the emotional depth and character of the subject. The background, rendered in soft, earthy hues, creates a harmonious setting that complements the solemnity of the portrait.
