Man met lange jas en hoed 1756

This etching by Jean Baptiste Marie Pierre, created in 1756, depicts a man standing in a long coat and hat. The drawing is characteristic of Pierre's style, which was known for its detailed depictions of everyday life. The artist's focus on the individual figure and their clothing reflects the growing interest in portraiture and social observation during the 18th century. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the fashion and appearance of ordinary people in 18th century Europe.
