Man met baard en bontmuts 1741 - 1820

"Man met baard en bontmuts" is an etching by Dutch artist Abraham Delfos, created sometime between 1741 and 1820. This detailed portrait depicts an elderly man in a fur-trimmed coat, with a striking fur cap and a long white beard. The use of cross-hatching and fine lines creates a sense of texture and depth, characteristic of etching. The portrait is a testament to Delfos's mastery of this technique, showcasing a keen eye for detail and a nuanced understanding of light and shadow. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch portraiture.
