Man steekt zijn pijp aan 1778 - 1838

Anthonie van den Bos’s *Man steekt zijn pijp aan* (1778-1838) is an etching depicting a man seated in a chair, lighting his pipe. The simple composition and detailed linework are characteristic of van den Bos’s style, and the casual subject matter reflects the growing popularity of genre painting in the late 18th century. This work is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the Dutch master's focus on everyday life.
