Oude man in mantel met bontkraag en helm 1757 - 1774

"Oude man in mantel met bontkraag en helm" is an etching by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, a prolific Italian artist known for his work in the Rococo style. The etching, created between 1757 and 1774, depicts an older man with a long white beard and fur-trimmed coat holding a helmet, the detail of which is lost in the shadows. The artist's signature style of delicate lines and contrasts of light and shadow, particularly noticeable in the face and fur collar, is evident in this small-scale etching. The artwork exemplifies Tiepolo's mastery of etching techniques, showcasing his ability to capture the details and texture of fabrics and the subtle nuances of human expression.
