This hand-colored etching from 1811 by Georges Jacques Gatine is a depiction of an "Incroyable," a fashionable young man in the style of the Directoire and Consulate periods in France. The figure is shown in profile, standing with a cane in his hand, wearing a stylish hat, a high-collared coat, and tight pants. This work is part of a series, and the French caption describes the specific details of his clothing. The image captures the distinctive fashion of the time and offers insight into the social trends of early 19th-century France.
