Portret van een onbekende heer, ten halven lijve naar rechts 1588 - 1614

This charcoal drawing, "Portret van een onbekende heer, ten halven lijve naar rechts", was created by Ottavio Leoni between 1588 and 1614. The drawing depicts a man with a receding hairline and a goatee, dressed in a high-collared shirt and a doublet, his body turned slightly to the right. The artist's deft handling of charcoal and the subtle shading create a sense of realism, highlighting the sitter's features and the texture of his clothing. While the identity of the sitter remains unknown, the drawing provides a fascinating glimpse into the portraiture of the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
