Jongenshoofd before 1660

This red chalk drawing, "Jongenshoofd," by Moses ter Borch depicts the head and shoulders of a young boy. Created before 1660, the drawing is a study in the artist’s signature style, demonstrating his keen eye for detail and the subtle nuances of human expression. The boy’s downcast eyes and slightly parted lips convey a sense of introspection, characteristic of Dutch Golden Age portraiture. The work is housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the artistic legacy of the Dutch Master during his short but impactful career.
