Man wijst een gezelschap op een klok 1780

This etching by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles, titled *Man wijst een gezelschap op een klok* (Man points a company to a clock), depicts a scene of a social gathering in an interior setting. The central figure, a man in a coat, points towards a clock on the wall as he addresses a group of elegantly dressed men and women. The scene captures a moment of social interaction and provides insight into the societal customs of the 18th century. Vinkeles, known for his detailed drawings and etchings, skillfully rendered the figures and their clothing in a realistic manner. The etching is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the lives of Dutch society in the late 18th century.
