Illustraties bij het verhaal 'Lotgevallen en Ontmoetingen van David Harthals', in de Leidse studentenalmanak, 1859 1859

This is a pair of illustrations that were published in an 1859 Dutch student almanac. The black and white line drawings depict humorous scenes of the protagonist David Harthals. In the first scene, he bids farewell to his family at the dinner table. The second depicts him being greeted by friends in the streets of Leiden, a Dutch city known for its famous university. The artist is anonymous but the illustrations are created in a realistic style typical of the 19th century, and similar to the Dutch genre of "genre painting," which focuses on everyday life.
