Head of a Man in a Cap, Drawing or Writing c. 1620s

"Head of a Man in a Cap, Drawing or Writing" is a pen and ink drawing by the Dutch artist Hendrick Avercamp, created around the 1620s. The drawing depicts a man wearing a cap, seen from the chest up, with his head bent down as if he is writing or drawing. Avercamp is best known for his winter landscapes, but this piece demonstrates his ability to capture the details of individual portraits. The drawing is currently located in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
