VISSCHER, Cornelis
(b. ca. 1629, Haarlem, d. 1658, Amsterdam)

Portrait of a Young Man

-
Black chalk on vellum, 185 x 162 mm
Private collection

The present portrait of a young man, head and shoulders is an example of Cornelis Visscher's most typical works, the portrait drawings on vellum, drawn with a fine technique that indicates his apprenticeship to Peter Soutman, himself a pupil of Rubens. It demonstrates the soft hatching in different directions, which is typical of Visscher.
