Man wijst naar glas in linkerhand 1627

This 1627 engraving by Theodor Matham depicts a man holding a violin and a glass in his left hand. The image is likely a character study, focusing on the man's expression and posture as he gazes toward the glass. Matham's detailed style, typical of Dutch engravings, is evident in the intricate rendering of the man's clothing and the textured background. The composition is straightforward and dynamic, with the man's pose capturing a moment of lively engagement with the glass and violin. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistic practices of the Dutch Golden Age.
