Twaalf mannenhoofden die verschillende manieren tonen om een hoed te dragen 1710

"Twaalf mannenhoofden die verschillende manieren tonen om een hoed te dragen" (Twelve men's heads showing different ways to wear a hat), a 1710 etching by Bernard Picart, depicts 12 variations of how men might wear their hats in the early 18th century. The men, all with long, flowing wigs, are presented in profile and demonstrate how to hold and wear the hat in different positions, from simply resting on the head to holding it in the hand. This artwork, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into fashion trends of the period, and the meticulous details of Picart's linework provide a study of the human figure and the art of portraiture.
