"Man met tulband en bril in de hand aan tafel waarop munten en buidels" is a 1772 etching by Johann Andreas Benjamin Nothnagel. The artwork depicts a man with a turban and glasses holding a bag in his hand and sitting at a table with coins and bags upon it. The detail of the man's attire, the table setting, and the inscription at the bottom suggest that the work may be a portrait of a wealthy merchant or a figure of importance. The inscription also notes that the etching was a gift to Johann Friedrich Ettling, an art collector in Frankfurt. This work exemplifies the technical skill of Nothnagel, a renowned German artist of the late 18th century, and offers a glimpse into the lives of the affluent class during this period.
