Borstbeeld van een oude man 1625 - 1674

"Bust of an Old Man" is an etching by the Dutch artist Jan Lievens, created between 1625 and 1674. The work depicts the head and shoulders of an elderly man, turned slightly to the right. Lievens's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the wrinkles on the man's face and the folds in his clothing. This etching, now held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Lievens's mastery of the etching technique and his ability to capture the nuanced expressions of human emotion.
