Studie van een hoofd van een oude man 1710 - 1767

This etching, "Studie van een hoofd van een oude man," (Study of the head of an old man) by Dutch artist Leonard Schenk (1696-1767), features a detailed and expressive study of an elderly man’s face. Created between 1710 and 1767, the work showcases Schenk’s mastery of line and detail, particularly in the rendering of the man's wrinkled skin, flowing beard, and the careful shading of his cap. The print is currently located at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and is a valuable example of Schenk's skill in capturing the human form.
