"Elegant geklede heer (Spanjaard ?) en moorse bediende, staand voor een haven" (c. 1660) by Jan van Troyen (1610-1666) is a Dutch etching that depicts a well-dressed gentleman, possibly a Spaniard, accompanied by a Moorish servant. The scene takes place on a beach with a harbor and ships in the distance, suggesting a maritime setting. The work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, highlights the detailed fashion and attire of the 17th century, capturing a glimpse into the lives of a wealthy European and his servant. The etching's small size, 170 mm x 128 mm, adds to its intimate portrayal of the figures.
