Oude man, met stok, bontmuts en mantel in een winterlandschap 1744 - 1797

This etching by Jean Charles Le Vasseur, titled *Oude man, met stok, bontmuts en mantel in een winterlandschap*, depicts a man in a fur cap and coat walking through a winter landscape. The detail of the man's fur-lined cap and heavy coat emphasizes the cold, and the figures in the background skating on the ice provide a sense of motion. The scene is likely a depiction of the popular pastime of ice skating in the winter, a popular activity in 18th-century Europe. Le Vasseur created this artwork during the late 18th century, and it is now held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This print is an excellent example of the use of etching to create a sense of realism and to capture the details of the scene.
