"De gierige man" (The Miser) is an etching by Italian artist Giuseppe Maria Mitelli, dating back to 1675. The artwork depicts a seated man, his face obscured by a hood, engrossed in counting his money while surrounded by bags of coins. The scene is characterized by its detailed rendering of the man's environment, including his worn clothes and the cluttered table before him. This etching reflects the prevailing Baroque style and conveys a moralistic message about the dangers of greed and the vanity of material wealth. It is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
