Man met een roemer 1670 - 1724

Jacob Gole’s etching, "Man met een roemer," depicts a man in a striped shirt and a hat, holding a goblet high in the air. He is laughing, perhaps in celebration, and appears to be enjoying a moment of revelry. The etching is framed by an oval and set upon a pedestal, and the inscription "C'est tout son cœur" ("That is all his heart") at the bottom suggests a theme of exuberance and heartfelt enjoyment. This artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and provides insight into the social life and customs of 17th-century Dutch society.
