The Cupper (Kopster) 1695

"The Cupper (Kopster)" is an etching by Dutch Golden Age artist Cornelis Dusart, created in 1695. This satirical print depicts a woman having her foot treated by a cupper, while a man in the background appears to be reading a letter. The humorous subject matter and detailed depiction of everyday life are characteristic of Dusart's work. The etching's inscription includes a playful Dutch proverb about the cupper's profession, adding to the artwork's charm. "The Cupper" is currently part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection.
