Studieblad met een Spaanse ruiter, een Spaanse heer en het hoofd van een jongen 1647 - 1648

This sheet of studies by Gerard ter Borch, created between 1647 and 1648, provides a glimpse into the artist's working process. The drawing features a figure study of a Spanish gentleman, a sketch of a rider on horseback, and a portrait head of a young boy, executed in a loose and expressive style. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum and showcases ter Borch's skillful use of line and shading, indicative of his mastery of portraiture and figure drawing.
