Vijf landlieden, gekleed volgens de mode in Vlaanderen, ca. 1580 before 1581

"Vijf landlieden, gekleed volgens de mode in Vlaanderen, ca. 1580" is an etching by Flemish artist Abraham de Bruyn, created before 1581. This detailed artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts five men dressed in the fashionable attire of 16th-century Flanders. De Bruyn's meticulous attention to detail captures the regional variations in clothing and accessories, making this a valuable record of everyday life during this period. The small size of the work (265 mm x 360 mm) suggests it was likely intended for a private collection rather than public display. This etching exemplifies de Bruyn’s skill in capturing the nuances of costume and provides insights into the sartorial choices of Flemish men in the late 16th century.
