Jongen die een mand en een paal draagt, naar rechts Possibly 1651

"Boy Carrying a Basket and a Pole" is a pen and ink drawing on paper created by Dutch Golden Age painter Harmen ter Borch in 1651. This small-scale work, measuring 95 mm by 114 mm, depicts a boy carrying a basket and a pole, likely a simple farm worker or peasant. This drawing, now located in the Rijksmuseum, showcases ter Borch's mastery of capturing human anatomy and movement. The artist's signature and the date "20 October 1651" are clearly visible in the lower right corner. This drawing is a prime example of ter Borch’s talent for depicting everyday life and the human figure.
