Portret van een man met een hoed en kraag 1743 - 1800

This etching, "Portret van een man met een hoed en kraag" (Portrait of a man with a hat and collar), was created by Dutch artist Pieter Louw between 1743 and 1800. The work portrays a man in a dark hat and a large, ruffled collar, typical of 17th-century fashion. Louw's etching style is characterized by delicate lines and subtle shading, creating a realistic and intimate portrait of his subject. The etching, now in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to Louw's skill as a portraitist and captures the elegance of the period.
