Jongen die een schaal aanbiedt 1670 - 1713

"Jongen die een schaal aanbiedt" (Boy Offering a Plate) is an etching by Pieter Schenk, a Dutch artist who lived from 1660 to 1711. The etching depicts a young boy offering a plate of fruit to a seated woman, likely an aristocrat, with a man standing behind her. Schenk's attention to detail in portraying the elaborate clothing and furnishings reflects the elegance and sophistication of the Dutch Golden Age. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the social interactions and visual culture of 17th-century Dutch society.
