Geleerde in zijn werkkamer 1756 - 1817

"Geleerde in zijn werkkamer" is a print by Louis Bernard Coclers, a Dutch artist. This etching, which dates between 1756 and 1817, depicts a scholar at work in his study, a popular subject in Dutch art. Coclers’ use of cross-hatching and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, while the composition is balanced and harmonious. The print likely captured the perception of a scholar as a learned and serious figure, lost in contemplation. This piece is small in dimension at just 178 mm high and 122 mm wide.
