"Man in a pensive posture, dressed according to the French fashion of 1696" is an etching by Bernard Picart, a French artist known for his illustrations and engravings. Created in 1696, this piece showcases a figure clad in the fashionable attire of the era, with a distinctive hat and coat. The intricate details of the clothing and the figure's contemplative pose offer a glimpse into the sartorial trends and social customs of late 17th-century France. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable visual document of the fashion history of the period.
