Badende mannen en jagers 1655 - 1708

"Badende mannen en jagers" (Bathing men and hunters) is an etching by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe (1645-1708), currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The etching, created between 1655 and 1708, captures a lively scene of hunters and bathers in a landscape setting. The detailed depiction of the figures and their actions, along with the use of light and shadow, showcases de Hooghe's skilled artistry. The etching's small dimensions, measuring 167 mm in height and 123 mm in width, add to its intimate and detailed nature. This work is a fine example of de Hooghe's etching style, which often featured scenes of daily life, capturing a glimpse into the everyday activities of his time.
