Trompe l'Oeil. Board with an Etching of a Man with a Pipe is a 1650 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting is a trompe l'oeil, featuring a wooden board with a print of a man with a pipe. The print is placed in the center of the board, which has a light-colored wood grain pattern. The man in the print is wearing a hat and a loose-fitting shirt, and is holding a pipe in his right hand. The print is surrounded by a white border, which is attached to the board with small red pins. The overall effect is one of a casual, everyday scene, with the man appearing to be lost in thought as he smokes his pipe. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene.
