Kanonnier en marketentster 1616

"Kanonnier en marketentster" is a 1616 etching by Dutch artist Willem Pietersz. Buytewech, known for his detailed depictions of everyday life. This small-scale artwork, measuring 142mm by 93mm, showcases two figures: a soldier and a market woman. The soldier, in full armor, stands with his musket while the market woman, laden with baskets, appears to be negotiating a transaction. The etching's intricate detail and realistic portrayal of figures and their surroundings make it a valuable example of Dutch Golden Age art, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
