Beggar Man

Prints and Drawings

1787

Jean Pierre Norblin De La Gourdaine
French, 1745-1830

Many of Norblin’s etchings depict colorful figures in Asian or Polish peasant costume. It is unclear whether any of his prints appeared on the market in his lifetime; the earliest impressions are on tissue- weight paper, and many that are known today were probably printed after the artist’s death.
