Jonge man met hoed 1748 - 1795

"Jonge man met hoed" is an etching by Dutch artist Jan Chalon, created between 1748 and 1795. The small print depicts a young man in a cap, with a contemplative expression, his head resting on his hand. Chalon's signature appears in the upper right corner, and his use of delicate lines and subtle shading creates a sense of realism in this portrait. While the sitter's identity is unknown, the work exemplifies Chalon's skill in capturing the nuances of human emotion through printmaking. The etching's intimate scale contributes to its sense of immediacy and personal connection.
