Rokende franciscaan Possibly 1670 - 1724

"Rokende franciscaan" is a satirical etching by Jacob Gole depicting a Franciscan monk. The image shows a comical figure with a pipe, a variety of flasks, and a goblet suggesting an alcoholic lifestyle. The inscription beneath the image suggests this monk is in purgatory, but the image is not explicitly religious in nature. It is a humorous and thought-provoking piece, characteristic of Gole's style.
