Ruit met een fragment van een wijngaardenier 1749

This small, 18th-century panel glass by J.J. Hoff, titled "Ruit met een fragment van een wijngaardenier" (Panel with a fragment of a vintner), depicts a vintner in profile, reaching to pluck grapes from a vine. The etching showcases the vintner's detailed clothing and footwear, while the vine is rendered with delicate lines. This piece is an excellent example of Dutch panel glass art, a popular form of decorative art in the 17th and 18th centuries. These panels were often incorporated into windows, doors, and furniture for decorative purposes, offering a glimpse into the daily life and work of common people.
