Bust of a Man with a Broad Collar 17th century

This 17th-century anonymous drawing, titled "Bust of a Man with a Broad Collar," depicts a man with long, curly hair and a wide, flat collar. The work is a simple yet compelling example of portraiture, with the artist focusing on the sitter's features and expression. The detail in the man's clothing and the use of shading to create volume and depth are characteristic of the period's artistic style. The drawing, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, offers a glimpse into the world of 17th-century portraiture and the anonymous artist's skill in capturing a likeness.
