This print, "Floskaartjes," created by Jan de (II) Lange between 1822 and 1849, is a collection of 32 playing cards featuring figures from Dutch society. Each card depicts a person in a different profession or role, with detailed clothing and accessories. The cards were likely intended for use in the popular Dutch card game "Flos." This intricate artwork provides a glimpse into the diverse social structure of 19th-century Dutch society and its artistic representations.
