Fragment van een collage van uitgeknipte prenten, geplakt op blauw papier c. 1680 - 1720

This fragment of a collage, dating from c. 1680-1720, is a unique example of 17th and 18th century Dutch art. The collage, housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a group of figures, possibly pilgrims, dressed in cloaks and hats, with a dog at the bottom of the image. This fragment is a reminder of the practice of creating collages from printed materials, which was popular at the time. The small dimensions of the work, 83 mm high and 120 mm wide, highlight its intimate nature and the careful selection of details by the artist.
