Man met hoed 1739 - 1810

"Man met hoed" is an etching by Johann Daniel Laurentz, a German artist active in the late 18th century. This small-scale print, measuring just 86 mm by 73 mm, captures the profile of a man wearing a hat, his features rendered with meticulous detail. The work is characterized by its delicate lines and expressive shading, typical of Laurentz's style. The etching's intimate scale and simple composition evoke a sense of immediacy and personal observation, suggesting it may be a study or portrait from life.
