Pijprokende man met een glas 1744 - 1780

"Pijprokende man met een glas" (Smoking Man with a Glass) is an etching by Simon Klapmuts, dated between 1744 and 1780. The artwork depicts a man in a cap, holding a glass, likely filled with alcohol. The etching is framed by a window, with a blurred background, suggesting a casual, informal setting. The detailed lines create a sense of realism and the man's expression hints at a moment of relaxation and enjoyment. This small-scale etching, measuring only 57mm by 44mm, showcases Klapmuts' mastery of the technique and provides an intimate glimpse into the daily life of a 18th-century gentleman.
