Verkoper van wijn 1660

"Verkoper van wijn" (Wine Seller), a 1660 etching by Italian artist Giuseppe Maria Mitelli, depicts a man carrying a large stack of barrels on his back, likely en route to deliver wine. The detailed, hatched lines of Mitelli's etching give the image a sense of depth and realism, portraying the weight of the burden and the effort of the wine seller. This print is a quintessential example of 17th-century Italian art, highlighting the everyday life of the working class through precise detail and skilled draftsmanship.
