Kunstenaar op klompen met tekenmap onder zijn arm 1855 - 1892

This etching titled "Kunstenaar op klompen met tekenmap onder zijn arm" was created by Dutch artist Bernardus Johannes Blommers between 1855 and 1892. It depicts a man, presumably an artist, standing in profile, wearing wooden shoes, a hat, and holding a portfolio under his arm. The subject matter is reminiscent of the Dutch Golden Age, where artists often depicted daily life and occupations of ordinary people. This etching, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Blommers' skillful use of line and detail to capture the figure's presence and the artist's keen eye for observation.
