Lachende jongen met kat 1643 - 1690

"Lachende jongen met kat," a black and white etching by Dutch artist Lambert Visscher, depicts a young boy with a playful grin holding a cat. Created between 1643 and 1690, the artwork showcases Visscher's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of human expression. The boy's relaxed posture and the gentle interaction with the cat create a sense of warmth and intimacy, characteristic of Dutch Golden Age art. The etching's delicate lines and tonal contrasts effectively convey the subject's charm and the soft texture of the boy's clothing.
