Usage notes
Indefinite adjectives describing people often remain uninflected, if they express a personal quality. This is not stylistically neutral, but has a formal, rhetorical or poetic ring to it, and can occasionally distinguish literal meanings of an adjective from a more figurative one. Furthermore, this is only done with some nouns, not all. Hence, besides the regularly inflected "een gelukkige man", the uninflected "een gelukkig man" can also be encountered.
