Buste van oude man met kaal hoofd 1613 - 1661

This etching by Dutch artist Jan Gerritsz van Bronckhorst, created between 1613 and 1661, depicts a bust of an older man with a bald head in profile view. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a smaller piece, measuring 128 mm in height and 99 mm in width. Bronckhorst, who was born in 1603 and died in 1661, specialized in portraiture and used his artistic skills to capture the likeness of his subjects. The etching is a testament to his mastery of the medium, demonstrating the fine lines and intricate details that he could achieve. The detailed rendering of the man's face, the texture of his skin, and the subtle folds of his clothing are all carefully observed and faithfully reproduced in the print, suggesting the artist's keen eye for detail and his understanding of human anatomy.
