This 1867 etching by Belgian artist Alfred Hubert depicts a scene from the life of Tijl Uilenspiegel, a legendary trickster figure from Flemish folklore. The artwork shows Tijl, accompanied by two armed men, escorting a wagon filled with five young women. The work is a fine example of the 19th century fascination with folklore and the use of etching as a popular medium for artistic expression. Hubert's detailed and expressive style effectively captures the humor and mischievousness associated with Tijl Uilenspiegel. The etching was likely intended for a wider audience interested in Dutch and Flemish folklore, and the print's relatively small size suggests it was meant for personal collection.
