Donker interieur met groep etende koks c. 1860 - 1870

Theodule Ribot's "Donker interieur met groep etende koks" (c. 1860-1870), a black and white etching, depicts a group of cooks in a darkened interior, their white clothing providing a strong contrast. The figures are arranged in a casual, intimate setting, suggesting a moment of shared meal or conversation. Ribot, known for his depictions of everyday life, captures the camaraderie and simple pleasures of a working-class group, highlighting the realism and gritty detail characteristic of his style. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
