Visser verstopt zich voor agent 1856

"Visser verstopt zich voor agent" (Fisherman Hiding from a Policeman) is a humorous lithograph by Carel Christiaan Antony Last, a Dutch artist known for his satirical illustrations. The scene depicts a fisherman with only his head visible above water, attempting to avoid being caught by a policeman. The artwork, created in 1856, is a commentary on the social interactions and laws surrounding fishing in 19th-century Netherlands, highlighting the playful tension between authority and the pursuit of pleasure. The lithograph's simple yet effective style is typical of Last's work and would have appealed to a wide audience in the mid-19th century. "Visser verstopt zich voor agent" can be viewed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
