Een vrouw die haar man vertrapt 1610 - 1663

"Een vrouw die haar man vertrapt" (A woman who tramples her husband), a 17th century etching by Cornelis van Kittensteyn, depicts a humorous scene of domestic conflict. The image features a woman in a wide skirt, her foot firmly planted on her husband's chest, as he lies on the ground, while other figures, including a man holding a basket of apples and a woman holding a jug, look on and laugh. Van Kittensteyn, known for his satirical prints, captures the absurdity of the scene and the power dynamics between the genders, making it a humorous and culturally relevant artwork. This etching, located in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Dutch art from the Golden Age.
