Man pakt een andere man een sleutelbos af 1797 - 1836

This print, created between 1797 and 1836 by Dutch artist Philippus Velijn, depicts a dramatic scene. A man, likely a sailor, is being held down by another man while a group of onlookers watch. The scene takes place on a dock, with ships and masts visible in the background. This etching is a powerful example of Velijn's ability to capture the drama and tension of everyday life, highlighting the hardship of work and social conflict during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
