Veel zoeken door practijk haar keel en beurs te vullen / En op het paar-gaten te srinken en te smullen 1725 - 1780

This satirical print by Johannes (II) Kannewet from 1725 - 1780, titled “Veel zoeken doog practish haar heel en Beurs te bullen / En op het Jaar-getep te Drinken en te mullen,” depicts four scenes of humorous social commentary. The work is a prime example of 18th-century Dutch satirical prints, often focusing on contemporary societal issues and behaviors. The print's title, a play on words in Dutch, points to the absurdity of seeking wealth and pleasure, as seen in the scenes of people engaging in frivolous activities. The use of detailed engravings and hand-coloring further adds to the charm and historical significance of this artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
