Standing Man with a tall Hat 1600 - 1624

Willem Pietersz. Buytewech's "Standing Man with a tall Hat" is a pen and ink drawing that captures the elegant fashion of the early 17th century. The figure, seen in profile, is rendered in a loose and expressive style, with emphasis on the details of the man's clothing. This small work, measuring 149 mm high and 79 mm wide, is housed in the Rijksmuseum and showcases Buytewech's skill in capturing the essence of his subject.
