Man gezeten voor zijn deur, leest de krant 1874

Théodore Gérard, a Belgian artist, created this etching titled *Man Sitting in Front of his Door, Reading the Newspaper* in 1874. It depicts a man sitting in front of a rustic cottage, reading a newspaper. His dog is laying at his feet, suggesting a scene of peaceful domesticity. Gérard's detailed and expressive style captures the quiet intimacy of a man enjoying a moment of leisure.
