Elk wint de kost op zijn manier, / En neemt somtijds ook zijn pleizier 1832 - 1850

"Elk wint de kost op zijn manier, / En neemt ook somtijds zijn pleizier," (Everyone earns a living in their own way, / And sometimes also takes their pleasure), is a colorful 19th-century print by Theodorus Johannes Wijnhoven-Hendriksen, depicting a series of vignettes showcasing different aspects of daily life. The work is reminiscent of Dutch genre painting and utilizes a simple, yet effective, style to illustrate various scenes. These scenes, coupled with the caption, emphasize the humorous nature of the print, offering a lighthearted glimpse into the lives of common people in 19th-century Netherlands. The image showcases a combination of hand-colored printing and pen-and-ink illustration, reflecting the techniques popular during this period. This playful and accessible print, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a unique window into Dutch cultural life of the era.
