Man met bontmuts en bontkraag 1754

"Man met bontmuts en bontkraag" (Man with fur cap and fur collar) is a 1754 etching by Antoine de Marcenay de Ghuy, a prominent French artist who lived from 1724 to 1811. The artwork, a portrait of an unnamed man, showcases de Ghuy's meticulous detail, particularly evident in the rendering of the fur textures. This intimate portrait is characterized by a somber tone, emphasizing the man's age and his austere attire. The etching's small size (77 mm x 63 mm) suggests it was likely intended for personal use or as part of a collection of portrait miniatures.
