Portret van een oude man met hoed 1597 - 1652

This anonymous engraving, "Portret van een oude man met hoed," depicts a man with a stern expression, wearing a fur-trimmed coat and a hat, perhaps signifying his status. Created sometime between 1597 and 1652, the artwork showcases the detailed and realistic style of the Northern Renaissance. The use of hatching and cross-hatching in the engraving creates subtle depth and texture, emphasizing the man's wrinkled face and the intricate patterns of his attire. The inscription "I.G. A.27," suggests that this may be a portrait of a specific individual.
