De Reuk 1638 - 1665

"De Revck" is a 17th-century etching by Dutch artist Salomon Savery, depicting a scene of corporal punishment. A man spanks a young boy while a second child watches and a dog sniffs at the ground, perhaps reacting to the boy's distress. The work is a graphic illustration of discipline, possibly meant to be a cautionary tale. It is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
