Vier mannen in zeventiende-eeuws kostuum 1847 - 1865

This artwork, “Vier mannen in zeventiende-eeuws kostuum” (Four Men in 17th-Century Costume), is a lithograph by the Dutch artist Charles Rochussen. Created between 1847 and 1865, it depicts four men in elaborate 17th-century attire gathered in a room, possibly during a social gathering. Rochussen was known for his detailed depictions of everyday life, often capturing the elegance and formality of Dutch society. The scene's intimacy and the men's refined dress capture the charm of 17th-century fashion and Dutch social life. This lithograph, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Rochussen's skillful representation of historical detail and daily life in 19th-century Netherlands.
