Kroegscène met man die pijp aansteekt 1659 - 1740

"Kroegscène met man die pijp aansteekt" (Tavern Scene with a Man Lighting a Pipe), a 17th-century etching by Dutch artist Jan van der Bruggen, depicts a dimly lit tavern scene. The artwork, measuring 180 mm high by 232 mm wide, features two figures engaged in casual conversation. The man on the left appears to be lost in thought, while the man on the right lights his pipe, providing a glimpse into the daily life of ordinary people during the Dutch Golden Age. This etching is a prime example of van der Bruggen's mastery of depicting everyday scenes with a focus on realism and detail.
