This satirical print by Johannes (II) Kannewet from 1725 to 1780, entitled *Al dat op den bedel-zak geerne leeft*, depicts sixteen scenes of beggars with captions underneath each. The scenes are arranged in a grid of four rows and four columns, each figure shown in an oval frame. The print satirizes the lives of beggars, with the artist drawing attention to the various ways they solicit money. The satirical nature of the artwork can be understood through the captions, which are in Dutch. This print is a classic example of satirical art, a genre that often utilizes humor to critique social issues. It is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
