This hand-colored etching, titled *Man zittend op de rand van een kruiwagen*, depicts a man casually sitting on a wheelbarrow, smoking a pipe, with a relaxed and slightly amused expression. The artwork is a character study, created by Dutch artist Mathias de Sallieth, likely between 1772 and 1833. De Sallieth, who was known for his satirical engravings, likely used this piece to portray a humorous commentary on social classes and everyday life in 18th century Dutch society. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and measures 209 mm in height by 153 mm in width.
