Man zittend op rug gezien, vrouwen- of mannenhoofd met muts 1642 - 1664

This etching by Cornelis Bega, titled "Man zittend op rug gezien, vrouwen- of mannenhoofd met muts" (Man sitting with his back turned, a woman's or man's head with a cap), depicts a figure from behind, their head tilted downwards. The figure is likely a man due to their attire and the presence of a cap. The artwork, created between 1642-1664, is a testament to Bega's skill in capturing the human form, emphasizing the play of light and shadow. The composition, featuring a simple figure, evokes a sense of solitude and introspection, showcasing a common theme in Bega's work. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a poignant example of Dutch Baroque art.
