Portrait of a Young Man (probably a self-portrait) 1650 - 1651

Cornelis Visscher's "Portrait of a Young Man (probably a self-portrait)" is a 17th-century Dutch drawing, likely a self-portrait of the artist, crafted in black chalk on paper. This artwork is a fine example of the Dutch Golden Age style, marked by its realistic portrayal of the subject. The artist's use of shading creates a sense of depth and volume, adding to the realistic effect. The drawing, located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, provides insight into Visscher's artistic skills and the portraiture of the Dutch Golden Age.
