Het Gezicht: man met een lege kruik 1670 - 1724

"Het Gezicht: man met een lege kruik" (The Face: man with an empty jug) is a 17th-century Dutch etching by Jacob Gole. The artwork depicts a man, dressed in a traditional Dutch costume, sitting on a stool. He is looking downwards, his face etched with sadness or perhaps resignation. The man holds an empty jug, symbolizing a lack of resources or possibly the loss of something valuable. The work highlights the realism and social commentary prevalent in Dutch art of the period, capturing the struggles of everyday life.
