Nachtgezicht met figuren met een geldzak 1794

Reinier Vinkeles's *Nachtgezicht met figuren met een geldzak* (1794) is an etching depicting a group of figures gathered in a wooded clearing, illuminated by the moon. The scene suggests a nighttime encounter, possibly a clandestine meeting, hinting at the intrigue of the Dutch Golden Age. The figures' faces are partially obscured, adding to the mysterious atmosphere of the print, a characteristic of the Rococo art style. This etching, now in the Rijksmuseum, captures the dramatic use of light and shadow prevalent in 18th-century Dutch art, reflecting the artistry of Reinier Vinkeles, a renowned engraver of the era.
