Verkoper van heiligenprenten en rozenkransen 1660

This etching, *Verkoper van heiligenprenten en rozenkransen*, by Giuseppe Maria Mitelli, depicts a street vendor in the city of Bologna, Italy. Created in 1660, it showcases the everyday life of a commoner selling religious imagery and rosaries. The vendor is depicted with a relaxed posture, offering the viewer a glimpse into the everyday realities of 17th-century Italian life. The etching's detailed depiction of the vendor's attire, the cityscape in the background, and the religious imagery he carries creates a vivid snapshot of the era. This piece, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers valuable insight into the social and religious practices of the period.
