Kop van een oude, bebaarde man met een fluwelen baret 1660

This 1660 drawing by Moses ter Borch is a study for a larger painting. It depicts the head and shoulders of an elderly man, shown in profile, wearing a velvet beret and clutching a cane. The artist's careful depiction of detail, like the man's beard, is typical of Dutch portraiture of the period. This work is housed in the Rijksmuseum and measures 124 mm in height and 96 mm in width.
