Bebaarde oude man in een stoel 1658 - 1677

"Bebaarde oude man in een stoel" (Bearded old man in a chair) is an etching by Dutch artist Wallerant Vaillant, created between 1658 and 1677. The print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases a man with a long, flowing beard, his profile turned slightly away from the viewer. The etching's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of realism, capturing the subject's age and character with precision. This work exemplifies Vaillant's mastery of portraiture and his ability to render subtle nuances of expression through the medium of etching.
