"Oude man met baard" is an etching by Dutch artist Pieter Lyonet, created between 1716 and 1789. It is a portrait of an elderly man with a long white beard, his face conveying a sense of wisdom and experience. The etching is notable for its detailed rendering of the subject's features, particularly the beard and the wrinkles on his face. Lyonet is known for his engravings of portraits and historical subjects, and this work exemplifies his skilled technique in creating realistic and expressive images. The etching is small in scale, measuring only 98 mm in height and 79 mm in width, suggesting it was likely intended for a personal collection.
