Gentleman in a Cape and Plumed Hat Seen from the Back

Abraham Bosse|Jean de Saint-Igny

1629 · Etching; first state of two · Drawings and Prints

Bosse is best known for his etchings of everyday life. This print, from a series he created with the painter Saint-Igny, depicts stylishly dressed noblemen and women set in contemporary landscapes. They do not represent specific people but are fashion prints. This gentleman’s costume was etched in great detail, from his broad-brimmed plumed cap to the stirrups on his boots.
