Oude man met geldbeurs bij jong paar 1622

This engraving, *Oude man met geldbeurs bij jong paar*, was created in 1622 by Dutch artist Christiaan Le Blon. It depicts a scene of a wealthy elderly man with a purse speaking to a young couple. The artwork is likely a satirical commentary on social class and wealth, highlighting the contrast between the old man's wealth and the younger couple's apparent poverty. It is characteristic of early 17th-century Dutch engravings, which often featured moralizing and satirical themes. The engraving’s detailed depiction of the figures and the interior space suggests a careful observation of everyday life and social interactions.
