De mens op veertigjarige leeftijd c. 1725 - 1730

"De mens op veertigjarige leeftijd" (Man at Forty Years of Age) is an etching by Christian Philipp Lindemann, a German artist active in the early 18th century. This etching depicts a man seated at a desk, reviewing a book or document. He is being addressed by another man in a conversation, with the presence of other figures in the background, suggesting an active and busy cityscape. The scene is characteristic of Lindemann's work, which often reflected his own time period and focused on the realities of daily life in 18th century Europe.
