Prentverkoper 1655 - 1700

"Prentverkoper" (Print Seller) is an etching by Jan van Somer, dating back to 1655-1700. The print depicts a lively scene of a street vendor selling prints to two customers. The vendor, dressed in a formal coat, displays a variety of prints in his stall, while the customers examine them closely. The scene is full of character and detail, with a sense of everyday life and a touch of humor. This etching is a great example of the Dutch Golden Age genre of "troepen" (troop) prints which depicts scenes of daily life. The artwork is a testament to the skill and artistry of Jan van Somer, and a fascinating glimpse into 17th century Dutch society.
