Heer staand met zijn handen in zijn zij 1660s

"Heer staand met zijn handen in zijn zij" is a red chalk drawing by Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch. This study, created in the 1660s, portrays a gentleman standing with his hands on his hips. His elaborate clothing and wide-brimmed hat are characteristic of fashion during the Golden Age of the Dutch Republic. Ter Borch was a skilled draftsman known for her portraits and genre scenes, and this work showcases her keen eye for detail and ability to capture the essence of her subjects. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to her mastery of line and composition.
