Oude man deelt speelgoed uit 1758 - 1808

"Oude man deelt speelgoed uit" (Old Man Distributes Toys) is an etching created between 1758 and 1808 by Christina Chalon. The artwork features a scene of an elderly man, with a walking stick, distributing toys to three children outside of a brick building. The etching is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam and was executed in a delicate style that is typical of Chalon’s work. The detailed and charming depiction of the everyday life of 18th-century Dutch society is a testament to the artist's talent for capturing the human condition and the joys of childhood.
