This etching by Gilles Rousselet, a prominent Dutch artist of the 17th century, depicts a portrait of Edelman, a man standing on a terrace. The subject is dressed in elaborate attire, showcasing the fashion of the time, and is holding a sword. The scene is set against a backdrop of a distant landscape, adding depth to the composition. The etching's fine lines and details create a sense of realism, reflecting the artist's mastery of the medium. This work, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the lives and fashion of the Dutch elite during the Golden Age.
