Twee jagers en het melkmeisje 1778

"Twee jagers en het melkmeisje" (Two Hunters and the Milkmaid) is an etching by Dutch artist Theodoor Koning, created in 1778. The artwork, now held by the Rijksmuseum, depicts a humorous scene of two hunters surprised by a milkmaid, likely while hunting. The intricate details of the crumbling building, the hunters' surprised expressions, and the milkmaid's calm composure create a visually engaging narrative. This etching is a testament to Koning's skill in capturing everyday scenes with meticulous detail and playful irony, making it a notable example of Dutch Rococo art.
