Monnik en officier bij een tafel met attributen 1825 - 1875

This anonymous 19th-century print depicts a humorous scene of a monk and an officer sitting at a table. The officer is holding a bottle and a glass, perhaps suggesting a shared drink, while the monk seems to be gesturing with his hand. The scene is likely a satirical commentary on the social dynamics of the time, with the monk and officer engaging in a light-hearted banter. The print's composition is also notable, with its attention to detail in the clothing and accessories of the figures. The inclusion of the small village in the background adds depth to the scene, creating a sense of context and place. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the genre of satirical printmaking common in the 19th century.
