Man in een rolstoel ontvangt muntgeld c. 1770

This etching by Dutch artist Pieter (II) Langendijk, created around 1770, depicts a poignant scene of a man in a wheelchair receiving coins. The small size and intricate detail of the artwork highlights the artist's skill in capturing the everyday struggles of individuals during this period. The work likely serves as a commentary on poverty and the need for charity in 18th-century society, with the text beneath the image adding further depth to the social context. The print showcases Langendijk's mastery in etching and his keen eye for social observation, offering a glimpse into the lives of individuals often overlooked in historical records.
