Portret van een jongen met tulband, pijlenkoker en hamer 1610 - 1655

This etching by Pieter Fransz. de Grebber, dating back to between 1610 and 1655, depicts a young man in a turban, holding a hammer and with a quiver of arrows slung over his shoulder. The work exemplifies the artist's talent for capturing nuanced expressions, evident in the young man's contemplative gaze. The intricate details of the turban, the quiver, and the hammer suggest a story, possibly of a craftsman or a warrior. This small-scale etching, measuring just 130 mm in height and 83 mm in width, invites viewers to consider the subject's identity and the narrative it evokes.
