Buste van een oude boer met een pamflet in zijn handen 1788 - 1846

Christian Gottlieb Geyser's "Buste van een oude boer met een pamflet in zijn handen" (1788 - 1846) is a detailed etching depicting the bust of an old farmer holding a pamphlet in his hands. The farmer's face, etched in a realistic manner, showcases his aged features, hinting at a life of hardship and labor. The pamphlet he holds, titled "Grabahakes und vertrauliches Bauern-Gespraech," appears to be a satirical or humorous text, suggesting the piece might be a social commentary on the lives of farmers. The engraving is a small but intricate work that exemplifies Geyser's skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression and the essence of daily life.
