Buste van een man met een gevederde muts 1648 - 1678

"Buste van een man met een gevederde muts" (Bust of a Man with a Feathered Hat) is a small etching created by Samuel van Hoogstraten between 1648 and 1678. The artwork depicts a detailed study of a man's head and shoulders, with the subject's face clearly visible beneath a feathery hat. The etching, measuring 32 mm by 28 mm, is a testament to van Hoogstraten's mastery of detail and skill in creating a realistic portrait in a small format. This piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into van Hoogstraten's creative process and the artistic trends of 17th-century Dutch art.
