Heer kust een dame in een vertrek 1800

"Heer kust een dame in een vertrek" (Gentleman Kisses a Lady in a Room) is an 1800 engraving by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles (1741-1816). This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a romantic scene set in a grand, richly decorated interior. The couple in the foreground is the focus, their intimacy emphasized by the presence of two onlookers. The engraving's meticulous detail and delicate lines are characteristic of Vinkeles' style, reflecting the prevailing Rococo aesthetic of the era.
