This engraved vignette by Dutch artist Abraham Delfos, dating from 1741-1784, depicts a tailor working in his workshop. The image is framed by a decorative cartouche with a variety of objects related to the tailor's trade, including a bear, leopard, and a coat hanging on a hook. The vignette is likely meant to be a trade card or advertisement, showcasing the tailor's craftsmanship. The intricate details and delicate lines of the engraving are characteristic of the Rococo style. The vignette, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, measures 116 mm high and 146 mm wide.
