Sah er ungehalten aus? (What, look’d he frowningly?)

About this work

This etching shows three people standing outside near a building. The person on the left wears a fancy hat and coat, holding a fan. The middle figure is dressed in loose, old-fashioned clothes, with one hand on their chest. The person on the right has a military-style hat and a cane, looking down. The middle figure’s face is blurred, making them hard to read. The text below asks, *"Sah er ungehalten aus?"*—which roughly means *"Did he look angry?"*—hinting at a story behind the scene.
