Staand jongetje met een mantel, van achteren gezien c. 1627 - 1655

"Staand jongetje met een mantel, van achteren gezien" is a drawing by Dutch artist Gerard ter Borch, dating from around 1627-1655. The drawing, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a young boy wearing a cloak, viewed from behind. Borch's skillful use of graphite creates a sense of realism and captures the subtle folds of the boy's clothing and the delicate features of his body. This drawing is a fine example of Borch's early work, demonstrating his talent for capturing human form and movement through simple lines and shadows.
