Ziet kinderen! wat nu is geschied, / Van de Wasscher met zijn Griet [(...)] 1800 - 1833

"Ziet kinderen! wat nu is geschied, / Van de Wasscher met zijn Griet" (See children! what has happened now, / Of the washerman with his Griet) is a 19th century print by Dutch artist Philippus Jacobus Brepols. The artwork, created between 1800 and 1833, is an example of "prentenboek" (picture book) style and includes multiple vignettes depicting scenes from the lives of washermen, including a man pushing a cart, a woman cleaning clothes, and a couple having a meal. The lively, colorful artwork highlights the daily activities of ordinary people in early 19th century Dutch society. The print, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, is a delightful example of vernacular art, offering a window into the lives of everyday people and the role of visual storytelling in popular culture.
