Huis van Erastus met zijn kinderen, vrouw en oude bediende 1777

"Huis van Erastus met zijn kinderen, vrouw en oude bediende," a 1777 etching by Izaak Jansz. de Wit, depicts a scene from the play "Erastus." The work shows a family gathered outside their modest home, perhaps in anticipation of a visitor or an event. The etching's detailed composition and nuanced figures are characteristic of de Wit's style, a prominent Dutch artist known for his illustrative work. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies de Wit's mastery of depicting everyday scenes with emotional depth.
