"Kakkelorum" No. 2 1787

"Kakkelorum" No. 2, a satirical etching by J.F. Clemens, depicts a humorous scene of men playing on a seesaw while a band plays in the background. This etching, created in 1787, is part of a larger series by Clemens known as "Kakkelorum," which satirizes the social and political landscape of his time. The small size of the work, measuring just 151mm by 143mm, suggests its intended audience was likely private collectors or individuals interested in social commentary through art. The piece is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark.
