Jongen met hoed 1805 - 1844

"Jongen met hoed," a 19th century etching by Ignace-Joseph de Claussin, depicts a young boy wearing a cap, standing with his hands clasped in front of him. This small-scale artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Claussin's mastery of the etching technique, exhibiting a detailed and expressive use of lines and shading to convey the boy's form and expression. The work's simple composition and realistic depiction likely made it popular with viewers of the time.
