Verwelkoming van soldaten 1803

"Verwelkoming van soldaten" is a print by Willem Kok, a Dutch artist, from 1803. This artwork depicts a scene of a soldier being welcomed home by a group of people, likely his family. The engraving uses a detailed line style to depict the figures and the interior setting. The intimate scene conveys a sense of joy and relief, typical of 19th-century Dutch art. The small size of the print suggests it was intended for personal use, potentially as a memento of a soldier's return home during a time of war. The title, "Verwelkoming van soldaten" directly translates to "Welcome of Soldiers," a common theme of Dutch art in the 19th century.
