Twee oude vrouwen op straat, omringd door negen honden 1829

Hippolyte Bellangé’s 1829 etching *Twee oude vrouwen op straat, omringd door negen honden* depicts two elderly women and nine dogs in a street scene. The women, dressed in elaborate clothing, are interacting with each other, while the dogs surround them. The etching is a part of the *Recueil des Habitués des rues de Paris*, a collection of etchings by Bellangé that captured the everyday life of Paris in the early 19th century. The scene provides a glimpse into the social dynamics of the time, where interactions between people and animals were commonplace. The Rijksmuseum houses this artwork, which measures 257 mm in height and 202 mm in width.
