Zittende man met muts en stok c. 1774 - 1789

"Zittende man met muts en stok" (Seated Man with a Hat and a Stick) is an etching created by Jean-Pierre Norblin de la Gourdaine, a Polish-French artist, between 1774 and 1789. The artwork depicts a seated figure, possibly a peasant, wearing a hat and holding a stick, executed in a triangular format. The small size of the print, measuring 30 mm by 22 mm, adds to its delicate and intimate feel. This etching exemplifies Norblin's keen observation of everyday life and his talent for capturing the essence of his subjects.
