Jonge boer after 1635

"Jonge boer" is an etching by an anonymous artist from after 1635. It depicts a young farmer, likely a peasant, standing with a basket and leaning on a stick. The artwork is considered a rare example of a Dutch etching from this time period. The fine lines of the etching create a sense of realism, capturing the details of the farmer's clothing and the textures of the basket and stick. This small but detailed work gives a glimpse into the lives of Dutch peasantry in the 17th century. The work can be found at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
