De dwerg Jan Hagel als een Hollandse bootsknecht, 1716 1716

This 1716 engraving by Fopje Folkema depicts a humorous scene, possibly a satirical commentary on society. The image is framed with elaborate decorative flourishes, typical of Dutch printmaking of the period. The central figure, a dwarf, is portrayed as a sailor, highlighting the maritime importance of the Netherlands at the time. Folkema's use of caricature and exaggerated features adds to the comical nature of the scene, making it a popular example of 18th-century Dutch printmaking.
