Jongen met een kom en een lepel 1698 - 1776

"Jongen met een kom en een lepel" is an etching by Johannes de (II) Groot, dating from 1698 to 1776. The etching portrays a young boy, likely a peasant, with a joyful expression and a bowl in his hand, suggesting a simple, everyday scene. The realism of the image, typical of Dutch Golden Age art, showcases Groot's skilled use of line and shading to capture the boy's character and the texture of his clothing. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this etching demonstrates a prominent theme in Dutch art: everyday life and the common people.
