Man betrapt ekster met munt in de bek 1836

Johannes Steyn's 1836 engraving "Man betrapt ekster met munt in de bek" depicts a man in a room, catching a magpie with a coin in its beak. The scene is rendered in a simple and illustrative style, using fine lines to represent the details of the room, the man, and the bird. The image is likely meant to be humorous, depicting a common Dutch folktale about mischievous birds and cunning humans. The work is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcasing Dutch artistic traditions from the 19th century.
