April 1679 - 1704

"April" is an etching by Dutch artist Cornelis Dusart, created between 1679 and 1704. This humorous scene depicts a man pouring wine down the dress of a woman who appears to be intoxicated. The etching is part of a series of 12 prints representing the months of the year. Dusart is known for his genre scenes, which often feature drunken revelry and other bawdy subjects. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a charming example of Dusart’s style, showcasing his ability to capture the essence of everyday life in 17th-century Dutch society.
