Man in lange mantel en met bontmuts op de rug gezien c. 1774 - 1789

This etching by Jean-Pierre Norblin de la Gourdaine, created sometime between 1774 and 1789, depicts a figure viewed from behind, wearing a long coat and a fur cap. The small size of the print, measuring just 20mm in height and 12mm in width, suggests it may have been part of a larger series or collection of vignettes. The simple composition and detailed lines characteristic of etching give the piece a timeless quality, and its subject matter, a figure in traditional attire, reflects Norblin's interest in everyday life and social observation.
