Drie Fransen, een plein in de achtergrond 1636

"Drie Fransen, een plein in de achtergrond" is a 1636 etching by Johann Wilhelm Baur, depicting three men in a humorous, almost caricature-like style. The figures are dressed in the fashion of the era, with exaggerated hats and clothing. The setting is an open square, with the city in the background. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and detail, making the scene both comical and engaging. This work, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into daily life and social satire in 17th-century Europe.
