Heer in een park Possibly 1882 - 1886

This black and white etching by Dutch artist Hendrik J. Van der Borcht (1849-1918) depicts a man standing in a park. The figure is dressed in a fashionable 19th-century gentleman’s attire, including breeches and a waistcoat, and is holding a walking stick. The work, titled “Heer in een park” (meaning “Gentleman in a Park”), is dated between 1882 and 1886. The print’s small dimensions, 241mm x 158mm, contribute to an intimate portrayal of this ordinary scene.
