Man met bok before 1696

"Man met bok" (Man with goat) is a silver figurine created by Dutch artist Wessel Jansen before 1696. The small, intricate sculpture, measuring 3.7 cm high, 2.5 cm wide, and 5.9 cm long, depicts a man holding a rope attached to a goat. The figurine stands on an ornate base with an engraved design. The piece is a fine example of Jansen's work, characterized by its meticulous detail and realistic depiction of the figures. The use of silver, its small size, and the subject matter suggest that this was likely a private commission, perhaps as a gift or a decorative element. The work is a testament to the artistry of silver craftsmanship in the Netherlands during the late 17th century.
