Standing man holding kettles 1720 - 1800

This anonymous etching, created between 1720 and 1800, depicts a standing man holding kettles. The man is dressed in simple clothing and appears to be a peddler or street vendor. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, emphasizing the man's worn clothing and the intricate details of the kettles. The print, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the daily life of a commoner during the 18th century.
