"Man bij borstwering" is an etching created by Bernhard Schreuder, a Dutch artist, between 1773 and 1774. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man in a seated position leaning against a parapet. His elaborate clothing and a cap on his head are rendered in fine detail. The etching provides a glimpse into the fashion and portraiture styles of the late 18th century, offering a compelling study of both the subject and the artist's technique. The piece is a remarkable example of the Dutch artist's work, capturing the essence of a specific moment in time.
