De man met de vuurpijl 1695 - 1704

"De man met de vuurpijl" (The Man with the Rocket) is an etching by Dutch Golden Age artist Cornelis Dusart, dating back to 1695-1704. The print depicts a man in a humorous, almost comical manner, holding a lit rocket and wearing a hat with a feather. His stance is awkward and exaggerated, and he seems to be struggling to hold onto the rocket. The artwork captures a slice of everyday life in 17th-century Holland, with its detailed depiction of clothing and accessories. This etching is a fine example of Dusart's ability to portray character with wit and precision, demonstrating his mastery of the etching technique.
