Portrait of a Young Man 1716 - 1750

This charcoal and red chalk drawing, titled "Portrait of a Young Man," is a work by Dutch artist Cornelis Troost, created between 1716 and 1750. The artwork, which depicts a young man wearing a white hat and a wig, is a study in portraiture, capturing the subject’s likeness with delicate strokes and nuanced shading. The drawing, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Troost's skill as a draftsman and his ability to convey character through subtle details.
