Rokende jongeman 1863

This etching, "Rokende jongeman" (Smoking young man), depicts a young man standing in a field, casually dressed in a jacket and trousers, with a cigarette dangling from his lips. Created in 1863 by the Belgian artist Félicien Rops (1833-1898), this small work is an example of his characteristic style, which often explored themes of morality, sexuality, and decadence, blending realism with a satirical edge. This piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
