Heer in een vertrek 1727 - 1780

This etching by Pieter Langendijk depicts a seated figure in a room, possibly a portrait of a man in a wig, with a partially visible chair in the foreground. The artwork demonstrates the artist's skilled use of line to depict the figure in a somewhat informal pose, seated on a chair with crossed legs. The depiction of the subject in a relaxed, almost casual pose, and the detailed depiction of the room, contributes to the sense of realism within this artwork. The etching style is typical of Langendijk's work and offers a valuable glimpse into the 18th-century Dutch interior design and fashion. This piece, entitled “Heer in een vertrek”, exemplifies the Dutch penchant for portraiture and domestic scenes.
