Ein Mann mit Pelzmütze und Pelzrock lachend eine Pfeife haltend 1630

"Ein Mann mit Pelzmütze und Pelzrock lachend eine Pfeife haltend" (A Man with a Fur Cap and a Fur Coat Laughing, Holding a Pipe) is an etching created by Jan van de Velde II in 1630. The etching depicts a man in a fur-lined coat and hat, holding a pipe and laughing. Jan van de Velde II, a Dutch painter and draftsman known for his works in the style of Dutch Golden Age art, was born in 1593 and died in 1641. This etching is a fine example of his mastery of portraiture and a testament to his interest in capturing human expressions and emotions. The work is now on display at the Städel Museum.
