Armeense handelaar 1555 - 1568

This engraving, titled "Armeense handelaar" (Armenian Merchant), was created by Léon Davent between 1555 and 1568. The artwork depicts a man in traditional Armenian garb, including a fur-lined robe, a tall hat, and a belted tunic. It is a fine example of the detailed and realistic style of engraving prevalent in the 16th century. Davent's work, often focusing on portraits and scenes of everyday life, provides valuable insights into fashion and social customs of the time. The engraving's small size, 255 mm in height and 174 mm in width, makes it a compact but impactful piece of art history.
