Zelfportret van Moses ter Borch before 1661

This charcoal self-portrait, created by the Dutch artist Moses ter Borch before 1661, depicts the young artist at the age of 16. The intimate portrait, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases ter Borch's early talent for capturing likeness and subtle expression. The detailed rendering of the face and hair demonstrates his skill in using charcoal to create form and texture. While a small drawing, it offers a glimpse into the artistic development of a promising young artist.
