This etching by Arnold Houbraken from 1682, titled "Groot gezelschap een eettafel," depicts a large gathering of people around a table. The scene is likely set in a tavern or restaurant, as the figures appear to be enjoying a meal. The artist's detailed rendering of the figures and the table suggests a focus on everyday life and social interaction. The etching is part of Houbraken's series of works, "Schoole," which are known for their satirical and humorous approach to life. This piece, held in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the social dynamics and dining habits of the Dutch Golden Age.
