Hoofd van een oude man (Jozef) 1672 - 1711

This etching, titled "Hoofd van een oude man (Jozef)", is a portrait study of an elderly man's head, likely depicting Joseph. Created by Augustinus Terwesten between 1672 and 1711, this work is a striking example of 17th-century Dutch art. The piece exhibits a realistic style, with meticulous detail rendered in the man's wrinkled skin, flowing beard, and furrowed brow. The piece is a testament to Terwesten's skill as a draftsman, and provides insight into the portrayal of aging within the Baroque period. The etching is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
