"Verkoper van vlaggetjes of waaiers" is an etching by Giuseppe Maria Mitelli from 1660. The artwork depicts a man carrying a stack of chairs on his back, walking away from the viewer. The man's face and figure are rendered with detailed lines, highlighting the worn-out and weary appearance of the street vendor. This piece is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum and demonstrates the artist's talent for depicting the everyday life of the common people, a prevalent theme in 17th-century Dutch art.
