Man in een lange mantel 1778

"Man in een lange mantel" is an etching by Jean-Pierre Norblin de la Gourdaine, a Polish-French artist known for his work in printmaking and portraiture. Created in 1778, the artwork showcases a single figure, a man cloaked in a long coat and hat, leaning on a staff. The detailed etching style, particularly noticeable in the textured depiction of the cloak and staff, contributes to the realistic portrayal of the subject. This etching, measuring a mere 44 mm by 25 mm, exemplifies Norblin's talent for capturing minute details and conveying the essence of his subjects.
