Oude man is handtastelijk bij een oude vrouw 1828

"Oude man is handtastelijk bij een oude vrouw" (Old Man is Handsy with an Old Woman) is a lithograph by Hippolyte Bellangé, dating from 1828. The lithograph depicts a humorous scene of a couple in a rural setting, a common theme in 19th-century Dutch art. The humorous depiction of the couple, the woman spinning wool on a wheel while the man attempts to reach for her, is a testament to Bellangé's keen observation of everyday life. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, is a charming example of the genre, showcasing the artist's talent for capturing the essence of the moment.
