Seated Cavalier c. 1630

"Seated Cavalier" is a drawing on paper by the Flemish artist Jan Philipz van Bouckhorst, created around 1630. The drawing depicts a man seated in a chair, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and elaborate clothing typical of the period. The artist's use of quick, expressive lines captures the subject's posture and details of his attire. This sketch provides a glimpse into the artist's working process and is a testament to Bouckhorst's talent for capturing likeness and movement. The drawing's intimate scale and informal style make it a compelling example of the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with portraiture.
