Vogelvangers bij een vogelval 1661 - 1726

"Vogelvangers bij een vogelval" (Bird Catchers by a Bird Trap) is an etching from 1661 - 1726 by an anonymous Dutch artist. It depicts a scene of bird trapping, with two figures preparing a net and cage while birds flutter around them. The detailed composition and the use of hatching and cross-hatching create a sense of depth and realism in the drawing, characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age. The etching is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
