Young man wearing a hat in profile to left 1646

Wenceslaus Hollar's etching, *Young man wearing a hat in profile to left*, is a fine example of the artist's portraiture style. Created in 1646, the artwork features a young man in a dark hat, with a fur-trimmed coat. The detailed rendering of the subject's face and attire is characteristic of Hollar's meticulous approach to detail. The etching's inscription suggests the portrait was created for an individual named "Henrico van der Borcht," likely a prominent figure in Hollar's time. Hollar was a prolific artist and a master of etching, known for his diverse range of works including landscapes, cityscapes, and portraits.
