Molkwerumse man 1775

"Molkwerumse man," a watercolor painting by Paulus Constantijn la Fargue, is a depiction of a man from Molkwerum, a village in Friesland, Netherlands. Created in 1775, the artwork showcases the typical attire of the time, with the man sporting a brown coat, blue waistcoat, and a white cravat. The detail in his clothing and the inclusion of a rural setting provide valuable insights into 18th-century Dutch fashion and daily life. The artist's signature, "P.C. la Fargue del. 1775," is visible in the lower right corner. This watercolor, measuring 143 mm in height and 100 mm in width, is a testament to la Fargue's skill in capturing the nuances of human form and detail.
