Kinderkamer 1545 - 1608

"Kinderkamer" (Children's Room) is an etching by Pieter van der (I) Borcht, depicting a bustling household scene. The composition is filled with figures, both human and monkey, engaged in everyday activities like tending to a baby in a cradle, spinning yarn, and cooking. The artist's skillful use of line and hatching creates a sense of depth and movement, bringing the scene to life. This work is characteristic of Borcht's detailed depictions of domestic life, often infused with humor and social commentary. It is on display at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
