Hendrik van Arkel zegt Betje vaarwel 1804 - 1805

"Hendrik van Arkel zegt Betje vaarwel" (1804-1805) is a print by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles. The artwork depicts a dramatic scene of a farewell between two figures, likely lovers, set under a full moon in a cobblestone street. The title, "Hendrik van Arkel says Farewell to Betje," suggests a narrative of romantic loss or separation. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Vinkeles's talent for capturing emotion and detail in a small format (246mm x 153mm). Vinkeles was a prominent artist of his time and his works are known for their refined, elegant, and often sentimental nature.
