Oude man met baard en gebogen hoofd 1771 - 1774

"Oude man met baard en gebogen hoofd" is an etching by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, son of the famous artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Created between 1771 and 1774, the artwork depicts a close-up of an elderly man's head, his face obscured by a long beard and a cap, with the focus on the wrinkles and the weight of age etched in his face. This etching showcases Tiepolo's mastery of detail and linework, characteristic of the Venetian Rococo style. The work captures the quiet dignity of the elderly, a common theme in Tiepolo's work, and provides a poignant glimpse into the human condition.
