Man at the Parapet, 1773 - A Glimpse into 18th Century Dutch Fashion and Masculinity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a young man leaning against a parapet, exuding an air of elegance and confidence. Created by Bernhard Schreuder in 1773 and published in 1774, this artwork offers us a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and style of the Low Countries during the eighteenth century. Dressed impeccably in monochrome attire, this dashing gentleman showcases the height of Dutch sartorial sophistication. His clothing is meticulously detailed, from his hat to his tailored coat and breeches. The artist's use of sepia tones adds depth to the image, emphasizing every intricate fold and texture. The composition itself is strikingly balanced; our subject gazes directly at us with an enigmatic expression that hints at both mystery and self-assurance. Behind him lies a picturesque landscape that further enhances the atmosphere of tranquility. As we admire this portrait today within the National Gallery of Art Washington's collection, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its historical significance. It serves as a testament to how fashion has always been intertwined with identity throughout history. Bernhard Schreuder masterfully captured not just an individual but also an entire era through this single image. Through his chalk manner technique combined with roulette printing on laid paper, he immortalized this young man for generations to come. Let us marvel at this exquisite piece
