Herberg 1830 - 1863

"Herberg," created by A. Schaub between 1830 and 1863, is a detailed etching that portrays a scene inside a tavern or inn. The artwork features a man sitting at a table with a glass of drink in hand, while three other figures can be seen in the background. Schaub’s use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture in the image. The artwork captures the atmosphere of a simple gathering place, a common theme in Dutch genre painting. "Herberg" offers a glimpse into the social life of the people during the period, highlighting the importance of taverns as social hubs. The artwork's small dimensions (147mm x 128mm) make it an intimate and engaging portrayal of a typical 19th-century scene.
