Schilder met palet en penselen aan het werk voor zijn ezel 1807 - 1855

This etching by Johannes Alexander Rudolf Best, created sometime between 1807 and 1855, depicts an artist at work. The artist, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, is seated in front of a wooden easel. He is holding a palette and brushes in his right hand and appears to be painting a figure on the canvas. The artist's focused expression and the carefully rendered details of his tools and surroundings create a sense of realism and intimacy. The print, measuring just 101 mm by 98 mm, showcases Best's skill in capturing the everyday life of an artist.
