Kerstmarkt before 1952

"Kerstmarkt" (Christmas Market) is a black and white etching created by Dutch artist Johan van Hell before 1952. The artwork depicts a bustling Christmas market scene, packed with people browsing goods, with the focus on a vendor selling a caged rabbit. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, showcases van Hell's characteristic style, capturing the energy and details of everyday life through his masterful use of line and shadow. The image offers a glimpse into Dutch life in the early 20th century.
