Schoolmeester met drie leerlingen bij tafel 1671 - 1771

This anonymous Dutch etching, titled "Schoolmeester met drie leerlingen bij tafel", depicts a scene from a 17th or 18th century Dutch schoolroom. The schoolmaster sits at a table with three pupils, likely learning to read or write. The scene evokes the common practice of educating children at home or in small, informal settings. The etching's small size and simple lines, typical of Dutch art of the period, contribute to the intimate and almost anecdotal feeling of the work. This small but evocative piece provides a glimpse into the daily lives and education of children during the Dutch Golden Age.
