De koekverkoper 1757 - 1763

Louis Marin Bonnet’s etching *De koekverkoper* (The Cookie Seller), created between 1757 and 1763, depicts a street scene featuring a young boy selling cookies to a woman seated with a dog. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Bonnet, a French artist known for his detailed, often humorous depictions of everyday life, captures the lighthearted interaction between the two figures through the boy’s eager expression and the woman’s playful gesture as she reaches for a cookie. The etching exemplifies the Rococo style, characterized by its elegance, delicate details, and focus on everyday life.
