Het Gehoor: zingende man 1670 - 1724

"Het Gehoor: zingende man" (The Hearing: Singing Man) is an etching by Jacob Gole, a Dutch artist known for his work in the 17th and 18th centuries. The print, created between 1670 and 1724, depicts a man in a cap and jacket singing from a sheet of music while holding a beer stein. The scene, likely set in a tavern, features a lute and violin hanging on the wall, providing a sense of the man’s musical context. This etching, which is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, reflects the popular genre of "The Five Senses" that was favored by Dutch artists in the 17th century.
