This etching, "Old Man with a Trefoil on His Coat" was created by Dutch painter Ferdinand Bol. Bol, a student of Rembrandt, was known for his portraiture and masterful use of chiaroscuro, a technique evident in this work. The piece depicts an elderly man seated, his face partially obscured by his long white beard, wearing a cloak with a trefoil design on the chest, creating a sense of depth and mystery. This artwork is currently on view at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
