"Zingende man met grote hoed (het Gehoor)" ("Singing Man with a Large Hat (Hearing)"), created by Cornelis Dusart between 1679 and 1704, is a Dutch etching. This small-scale work is a portrait of a man with a large, wide-brimmed hat, and is thought to represent the sense of hearing, one of the five senses. Dusart, known for his satirical and humorous portrayal of everyday life, uses a caricatured style to depict the man, adding to the playful nature of the artwork. The etching is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
