Hoofd van man met baard, de ogen zien opzij naar boven 1705 - 1754

This drawing titled "Hoofd van man met baard, de ogen zien opzij naar boven" by Jacob de Wit, a Dutch artist, is a striking example of his work. De Wit, born in 1695, was known for his expressive portraits. The subject's gaze, directed upwards and to the side, creates a sense of introspection and contemplation. The intricate detail of the man's beard and the soft, blended shading in the drawing contribute to the artwork's realism. De Wit, who died in 1754, left behind a legacy of portraits that captured the individuality and inner lives of his subjects.
