EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Old man holding his hand to his hat" transports us back to the 17th century with its intricate details and baroque style. The image depicts an elderly man, adorned with a long beard, standing in front of a writing desk. His weathered face exudes wisdom and experience as he gently touches his hat, perhaps shielding himself from the elements or showing respect. The composition is filled with various objects that give us insight into the man's life. Books line the shelves behind him, suggesting intellectual pursuits and a love for knowledge. A watch or stopwatch rests on the desk, symbolizing the passing of time and reminding us of mortality. The artist duo Schmidt and Le Sueur masterfully captured this moment in history through their skillful engraving technique. Every line and gesture conveys depth and emotion, making it impossible not to be drawn into this old man's world. Displayed at Fondation Glenat in Grenoble, France, this artwork showcases European artistry during a period when deep thought and reflection were highly valued. It serves as a reminder of our shared human experiences across centuries. This print by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate this remarkable piece without commercial use distractions while preserving its historical significance for future generations to enjoy.
