Twee mannen aan een tafel 1676

"Twee mannen aan een tafel" is a 1676 etching by Jan van Somer depicting two men seated at a table. One man is pouring a glass of wine while the other appears to be paying attention to a coin. The print has the inscription "Terburg. Pinx. D. van Somer fec. 1676", indicating that the etching is a reproduction of a painting by Gerard ter Borch. The image is a testament to van Somer’s skill as a printmaker, showcasing his ability to capture the detail and depth of the original painting. Ter Borch was known for his genre scenes depicting everyday life, often with an emphasis on the intimate details of social interaction. The composition of the etching, with its focus on the figures and the table, reflects this genre, offering a glimpse into the daily activities of ordinary people during the 17th century.
