Portret van een onbekende jonge man 1670 - 1713

This etching by Dutch artist Pieter Schenk (1660-1711) depicts the portrait of an unknown young man. The subject is depicted in a three-quarter profile view, dressed in a coat and cravat. His hair is styled in a long, flowing wig, which was fashionable during the late 17th century. The etching is a fine example of portraiture in the Baroque period, characterized by its realistic detail and emphasis on the sitter's individuality. The work is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
