Zingende mannen 1680 - 1684

"Zingende mannen," meaning "Singing Men," is a 17th-century etching by the Dutch artist J. Waterloos. The artwork depicts four figures sitting around a table, with one man seemingly singing. The scene is likely set in a tavern or similar setting, and is a common subject in 17th-century Dutch art, highlighting the everyday life of the common people. The etching is a small work, measuring 150 mm in height and 105 mm in width, creating a sense of intimacy and closeness to the scene. It is a fine example of Waterloos's talent for capturing the nuances of human expression and gesture.
