Twee figuren met een hond en een kat 1720 - 1792

"Twee figuren met een hond en een kat" is an etching by Aert Schouman, a Dutch artist who lived from 1710-1792. This intimate scene depicts a man and a woman seated, with a cat and dog at their feet. The figures are likely a couple, and the scene is likely set in their home, as evidenced by the simple furniture and the framed picture on the wall. The etching captures the warmth and familiarity of domestic life, and offers a glimpse into the everyday routines of a Dutch family in the 18th century. The work, which is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, is a small etching, measuring only 200 mm in height and 157 mm in width.
