Jongeman knielt en omhelst man met hoed 1711

"Jongeman knielt en omhelst man met hoed" (1711) by Pieter van den Berge is a detailed etching depicting a scene of reconciliation. The central figures are a young man kneeling and embracing an older man. The scene is framed by a crowd of onlookers, suggesting a public setting. The etching's title and the text at the bottom indicate a connection to a play by Plautus, "The Restored Son". This artwork is a fine example of Dutch Baroque printmaking and offers a glimpse into the artistic and theatrical culture of the early 18th century.
