Man in a Fur Coat 1774 - 1789

"Man in a Fur Coat" is an etching created by Jean-Pierre Norblin de la Gourdaine between 1774 and 1789, and currently held by the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The etching depicts a man from behind, wearing a large, fur-trimmed coat. The work is notable for its detailed rendering of texture and the use of hatching to create a sense of depth. This small but intricate work, typical of Norblin's style, demonstrates the artist's mastery of the etching technique, capturing both the figure and the subtle details of the coat.
