This anonymous etching from the 17th century depicts a caricatured figure walking to the left, possibly a carpenter. The figure wears a jester's cap and carries various tools including a scale, a bottle, and a hammer, all of which suggest a trade. A toad sits perched on the figure's nose, adding to the comical and satirical nature of the piece. The work's exaggerated features and humorous subject matter are characteristic of 17th-century Dutch satirical prints.
