Boer met mand aan linker arm, achteromkijkend 1630 - 1665

This etching by Salomon Savery depicts a man carrying a basket on his left arm, viewed from behind. The figure is rendered with a highly detailed and textured style, typical of Savery's work. The inscription "Claes dicke botter" identifies the subject as Claes, a Dutch nickname likely referring to his profession. This small-scale print (115 mm x 75 mm), created sometime between 1630 and 1665, provides a glimpse into daily life in 17th-century Netherlands. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a valuable example of Savery's skill in capturing the essence of everyday figures.
