Hoofd van een man met baard 1750 - 1850

This anonymous etching, "Hoofd van een man met baard," depicts a close-up view of a bearded man's head, likely created between 1750 and 1850. The artist skillfully uses hatching and cross-hatching to render the man's features, capturing the texture of his beard and the lines of his face. The subject's gaze is directed downward, creating an air of contemplation or introspective thought. This work is a prime example of the detailed and realistic portraiture common during the Dutch Golden Age.
