Portret van Cornelis Cossiers 1658

This 1658 drawing by Jan Cossiers depicts his son, Cornelis, in a realistic and intimate style. The artist utilizes black chalk and red chalk on paper to create a striking portrait of Cornelis, capturing his youthful features and the subtle play of light across his face. Cossiers was known for his portraits, and this intimate study exemplifies his skillful rendering of human likeness. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a compelling example of 17th-century portraiture.
