"Kermis-Prent" is a Dutch broadside, a type of printed sheet, created by Erven de Weduwe Jacobus van Egmont between 1761 and 1804. This particular print, likely part of a series, depicts three young men playing music with drums and a bagpipe, likely in a kermis or fair setting. The image is framed by a decorative border of stylized leaves and flowers, a common feature in broadsides of the period. This type of artwork was popular for its ability to visually communicate news, stories, and social commentary.
