Doopmaal 1849 - 1904

"Doopmaal" (Baptismal Feast) is a black and white print by German artist Adolf Wagenmann. The scene depicts a large gathering of people in a rustic setting, likely a village hall, during a celebratory meal. The focus of the scene is a large table with people sitting around it, engaging in conversation and enjoying a feast. The artist expertly captured the lively and convivial atmosphere of a traditional gathering, focusing on the details of the costumes and everyday items like barrels and a dog, which adds a layer of authenticity to the scene. The print, created between 1849 and 1904, offers a glimpse into the social life and traditions of rural communities in Germany in the mid-19th century.
