Vier kinderen kleden jongen in lompen netjes aan 1807 - 1855

"Vier kinderen kleden jongen in lompen netjes aan" is an etching created by Johannes Alexander Rudolf Best between 1807 and 1855. This artwork depicts four children, likely from a more privileged background, assisting a less fortunate boy with his attire. The scene is set in a garden, with a gate, a pillar, and foliage in the background. Best, born in 1797 and passed away in 1855, is known for his detailed and expressive etchings, often portraying scenes of daily life and social commentary. The small size of the artwork, measuring 183 mm in height and 114 mm in width, suggests it was intended for personal viewing and potentially part of a collection. This etching is a prime example of Best's focus on social themes and his talent for capturing the complexities of human interaction.
