Wie kon lopen vertrok te voet, wie dat niet meer kon viel 1850

"Wie kon lopen vertrok te voet, wie dat niet meer kon viel" is an 1850 etching by Dutch artist Tieleman Cato Bruining. The artwork depicts a scene of social commentary, likely referencing the Dutch upper class. The visual elements show a carriage departing while a group of people, including a person who appears to be struggling, are left behind. The inscription at the bottom translates to "Those who could walk left on foot, those who could not fell," implying that societal structures leave some vulnerable. The image is a powerful critique of class inequality, a theme that was prominent in Bruining's work. The etching is a fine example of 19th-century Dutch art and social commentary, and serves as a reminder of the enduring issues of social justice.
