Gentleman in a Cape and Plumed Hat Seen from the Back
Abraham Bosse French
After Jean de Saint-Igny French
Not on view
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.
