Hengelende man met voetjicht 1834 - 1835

"Hengelende man met voetjicht" (Angling Man with Gout), a lithograph by Pieter Oosterhuis from 1834-1835, depicts a humorous scene of a man with gout trying to fish indoors. The man is shown sitting in a chair with his leg propped up, attempting to cast his fishing rod into a wooden barrel filled with water. This satirical print, a popular genre in the 19th century, captures the absurdity of trying to enjoy an outdoor pastime while confined indoors due to an ailment. The artwork's realistic detail and light humor make it an engaging piece in the Rijksmuseum's collection.
