Drie muziek makende mannen 1739 - 1804

"Drie muziek makende mannen" (Three men making music) is an etching created by Johann Andreas Benjamin Nothnagel between 1739 and 1804. The print, measuring 94 mm in height and 80 mm in width, depicts three figures in a rustic setting. The scene shows a man playing a recorder, another playing a bagpipe, and a third playing a violin. The etching captures the lively atmosphere of a musical gathering in a simple tavern, with details like the jug, the barrel and the stool adding a sense of everyday life to the scene. Nothnagel's work is known for its detailed engravings, often depicting scenes of peasant life and everyday activities.
