Portret van een jonge vrouw met een kapje 1618 - 1651

This charcoal drawing, "Portret van een jonge vrouw met een kapje" (Portrait of a Young Woman with a Cap) was created between 1618 and 1651 by Dutch artist Jacob Backer. The drawing showcases a young woman with her head turned in profile, her gaze directed away from the viewer. Her simple attire and the slight tilt of her head add to the drawing's understated elegance. It's an intimate portrayal, likely depicting a real person, capturing her youthful presence with delicate precision. This portrait is housed in the Rijksmuseum and provides a glimpse into Backer's talent for conveying character through subtle detail.
