## Commentary

The present portrait of a young man, head and shoulders is an example of Cornelis Visscher&#39;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.
