Driekoningenbriefjes 1800 - 1833

"Driekoningenbriefjes" (1800-1833), by Philippus Jacobus Brepols (1778-1845), is a woodcut print housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts 24 separate scenes, each illustrating a different person from various social classes. The figures are shown riding horses in a parade-like format, with accompanying text in Dutch, each containing a witty description of the individual's character or profession. This piece showcases Brepols's talent for social commentary through visual and written storytelling.
