Staande man in lange bontmantel 1779

"Staande man in lange bontmantel" is an etching by Jean-Pierre Norblin de la Gourdaine, a Polish-French artist who lived from 1745 to 1830. This artwork depicts a man in a long fur coat, standing with a small object in his hand. Created in 1779, the etching showcases Norblin's expertise in capturing the details of clothing and the human figure, a skill that he honed in his numerous portraits and genre scenes. The image provides a glimpse into the fashion of the late 18th century and offers a small-scale study of human form and the artist's ability to convey a sense of presence through a simple yet powerful image.
