Buste van een jonge man, naar links 1695

This etching, created in 1695 by Dutch artist Nicolaes van Haeften, portrays a young man's bust in profile. The subject's long hair cascades down his neck, and his face is rendered with meticulous detail, highlighting the subtle contours of his features. The work's simple composition emphasizes the subject's form and the artist's skilled hand. The etched lines, applied with varying pressure, contribute to the overall texture and depth of the piece, showcasing van Haeften's mastery of this technique. This small-scale print provides a compelling glimpse into the artistry of the Dutch Golden Age and the nuanced portraits that defined the period.
