De listige vrijster of de verschalkte voogd 1757

"De listige vrijster of de verschalkte voogd" (1757) by Pieter Tanjé (1706-1761) is an etching depicting a satirical scene. The print is an example of the Rococo style, prevalent in the Netherlands in the 18th century. The artwork is displayed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The scene is likely set in the city, shown in the background, and the viewer is looking down at the street, where figures are engaged in a conversation, perhaps a humorous scenario involving love, deceit, and a potentially cunning suitor. The print is visually detailed, capturing the textures of clothing, the architecture of the building, and the details of the characters' expressions. This artwork, with its lively portrayal of societal interactions, is a testament to the flourishing artistic scene of the time.
