Overhandigen van een kistje 1803

"Overhandigen van een kistje" (1803) by Jacob Ernst Marcus is an engraving that depicts a scene from the play "De Jonge Figo500F" by Dutch playwright V: Bur. 10. The artwork shows a group of people in 19th-century dress, gathered outdoors with a tree in the background. The man in the center of the composition is handing a small box to a woman, while others around them watch. Marcus's engraving highlights the popular theater and the social interactions of the time. This small-scale work, measuring 201 mm in height and 129 mm in width, is a charming example of Dutch engravings from the early 19th century.
