Jongen met een veer op zijn baret 1665 - 1738

"Jongen met een veer op zijn baret" (Boy with a feather on his cap) is an etching by Carel de (II) Moor, a Dutch artist who worked in the 17th and 18th centuries. This small but detailed work, measuring only 105 mm x 81 mm, shows the head and shoulders of a young man wearing a cap adorned with a feather. The delicate lines and hatching characteristic of Moor's style contribute to the sense of realism and subtle emotion in the subject's expression. This etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Moor's skill in capturing the human figure with precision and sensitivity.
