This 1820 engraving by François Grenier, titled "Parijzenaar in modieus kostuum" (meaning "Parisian in fashionable costume"), depicts a man in the fashionable attire of the time. The man, who appears to be in his late twenties, is wearing a top hat, a long coat, white trousers, and boots. He holds a walking stick and appears to be in a contemplative mood. The engraving, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the clothing styles and everyday life of Parisians during the early 19th century.
