Fluitspeler 1882

"Fluitspeler" (Flute Player), an etching created by Fr. van Groeningen in 1882, depicts a man in a wide-brimmed hat and ruff, intently playing a flute. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, conveying the subject's focus and the instrument's intricacies. The print's small size, measuring 198 mm in height and 141 mm in width, lends an intimate view of the figure, drawing the viewer into the scene. This print, with its intricate details and expressive composition, is a fine example of the artist's mastery of the etching technique.
