Manskop met grote baard 1705 - 1754

This charcoal drawing by Jacob de Wit, titled *Manskop met grote baard* (Man’s Head with Big Beard), depicts a close-up view of a man’s head and beard. The artist has created a realistic portrayal using subtle shading techniques to convey the texture of the man’s hair, beard, and skin. The man appears pensive, his gaze downward, with a slightly melancholic expression. De Wit was a Dutch artist, known for his portraits and historical paintings. This drawing is likely a study for a larger work, demonstrating his skill and mastery of portraiture.
