Beroepen 1822 - 1849

"Beroepen" (Occupations) is a series of twelve illustrations by Dutch artist Jan de (II) Lange, created between 1822 and 1849. The work depicts various people engaged in different trades and occupations, including a woodcutter, a blacksmith, a farmer, and a carpenter. The illustrations are accompanied by rhyming verses in Dutch that describe the different professions and the lives of the people who perform them. These illustrations are a charming and informative glimpse into the daily life of people in the Netherlands during the early 19th century. The artwork is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
