Man kijkt naar zijn spiegelbeeld in het water 1741 - 1820

"Man kijkt naar zijn spiegelbeeld in het water" (Man Looks at His Reflection in the Water), an etching by Abraham Delfos, is a small, intimate work that captures the essence of introspection. Executed between 1741 and 1820, the print depicts a man seated near a body of water, his gaze fixed on his reflection. The figure's contemplative pose, combined with the surrounding natural scenery, evokes a sense of solitude and deep thought. The etching's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of depth and atmosphere, further enhancing the melancholic mood of the piece.
