De mens op zestigjarige leeftijd c. 1725 - 1730

"De mens op zestigjarige leeftijd" is a 18th-century etching by Christian Philipp Lindemann depicting a group of figures in a grand hall. It is part of a series of etchings that illustrate the stages of life, with each image representing a decade of life. This particular etching, created between 1725 and 1730, shows a group of figures gathered around a seated man, representing the personification of age 60. The etching's detailed rendering of the figures and their clothing suggests Lindemann’s mastery of the etching technique. This print, likely intended for a larger publication, offers a glimpse into the cultural and social norms of the time, as the scene likely embodies common beliefs surrounding aging and its associated values.
