This artwork showcases the artist's skill at rendering figures with a detailed and expressive style. The etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small work, measuring only 110mm in height and 90mm in width. Dolez is known for his etchings of everyday life, capturing the simple yet dignified realities of working people in his time.
