'De Aardbezien' en 'De kleine schoorsteenveger' before 1886

"De Aardbezien' en 'De kleine schoorsteenveger'" is a pair of etchings by Dutch artist Dirk Jurriaan Sluyter, created before 1886. This work, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two separate scenes: a man carrying a basket of strawberries on the left, and a chimney sweep on the right. The etchings are printed on a glass plate, giving them a unique texture. Though faded with age, these small-scale etchings offer a glimpse into the lives of everyday people in 19th-century Netherlands.
