Man met een pul bij een ton 1682 - 1688

"Man met een pul bij een ton," a 1682-1688 etching by Michiel Gillig, depicts a seated man in a distinctive hat, holding a drinking vessel. The figure, likely a peasant, enjoys a moment of leisure, a common subject in Dutch genre painting. The work is characteristic of Gillig's oeuvre, which focused on everyday scenes and the portrayal of ordinary people. The etching's small scale, measuring 104 mm by 79 mm, suggests its intended audience was likely collectors of prints.
