"Man verbindt de tenen van een man," is an anonymous 17th-century Dutch etching depicting a scene of social satire and humor. The print shows a man having his toes bound by another man, while a third person watches on with amusement. The caption, written in Dutch, mocks the man's condition and uses this scene to comment on the follies of society. This anonymous etching is a great example of 17th century Dutch "genre painting", which typically depicts scenes of everyday life. This print is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
