"Jongen met stok bij grot" is an etching created by Jan Gerritsz van Bronckhorst in 1637. The artwork depicts a young man standing in front of a cave, holding a staff in his right hand. It is a small etching, measuring only 154 mm high and 100 mm wide. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The artist is known for his detailed depictions of landscapes and figures. This artwork is typical of van Bronckhorst's style, with its emphasis on precise details and the use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth. The artwork is a good example of etching, a printmaking technique in which lines are cut into a metal plate with an etching needle.
