Portret van Nicolaes Six, voor een schilderij 1665 - 1738

This drawing by Carel de Moor, titled "Portret van Nicolaes Six, voor een schilderij" (Portrait of Nicolaes Six for a Painting) depicts the artist's patron Nicolaes Six, posing in a studio setting. Six is shown holding a bundle of brushes and pointing to a partially finished drawing on an easel. This drawing, dating from 1665-1738, is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and offers a glimpse into the creative process of an artist in the 17th century. The use of charcoal, the realistic rendering of the figures, and the details of the studio setting are characteristic of de Moor's style.
