"Drie prenten van Jan Klaassen" is a series of three woodcuts by Dutch artist Bernard Willem Wierink, created before 1903. The artwork depicts scenes from the popular Dutch puppet show featuring Jan Klaassen, a mischievous and often comical figure. Wierink's detailed and expressive black-and-white style effectively captures the drama and humor of the puppet theater, making this work a valuable glimpse into the world of traditional Dutch entertainment. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
