Man in een cape Possibly 1649

This is a quick sketch of a man in a cape, likely drawn by Dutch Golden Age painter Harmen ter Borch. The artwork, which is in the Rijksmuseum, was probably made around 1649 and uses simple lines to capture the figure from the back. Ter Borch's drawings are known for their expressive quality and this one is no exception, with a focus on movement and the draping of the man's cape. Although this work is a simple sketch, it reveals something about the artist's working process and his interest in capturing the human form.
