Twee vrouwen en een zittende man 1817

"Twee vrouwen en een zittende man" (Two women and a seated man), an 1817 etching by Dutch artist Frédéric Théodore Faber, depicts a scene of everyday life. The composition showcases three figures: two women, one carrying a basket and the other a jug, and a seated man, possibly a tavern patron, holding a pitcher and a glass. This artwork, a fine example of Faber's style, offers a glimpse into the social dynamics and everyday activities of 19th-century Dutch society. The etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artist's keen observation of human nature and his ability to capture the nuances of human interaction through his detailed, realistic style.
