Het vuile huishouden c. 1640 - 1660

"Het vuile huishouden" (c. 1640-1660), a woodcut by the Monogrammist VH, depicts a chaotic scene with multiple figures. The print's central figure, a woman, sits exposed, while surrounding figures react to the scene with gestures of shock or disgust. The artist's identity remains unknown, identified only by the monogram VH. The print’s small size (166mm x 161mm) suggests a focus on detail and intricate craftsmanship. The print likely draws inspiration from the bawdy, often satirical, artistic tradition of the 17th century.
