Portrait of a man in a cossack hat (Dirk Langendÿk)
Printmaker: Bemme, Johannes Adriaansz.
Etching and drypoint on thin, wove paper. The head and shoulders of a man wearing a cossack-style hat and plaid cotton scarf tied in a knot around his neck. He looks out to a point over the viewer's right shoulder. The sitter is identifiable as Dutch artist, Dirk Langendÿk whose portrait Bemme etched circa 1800 after a painting by German artist Jean Baptiste Scheffer (1765-1809). An impression of this work, which is a more formal portrait of the artist within an oval medallion, is in the Fitzwilliam collection; see P.6563-R. P.14802-R is closely comparable to the design of this portrait after Scheffer but with a reversal wherein the sitter is looking in the opposite direction and with the addition of the neckerchief and hat. It is not known if Bemme produced this etching after a different portrait by Scheffer or if the modifications originated with him. See Notes. There is an etched inscription at upper left: 'J.BEmme d[..]?S / 1803'. An inscription in graphite on the verso: 'Bemme'.
