Figuren, beroepen en bezigheden 1822 - 1849

"Figuren, beroepen en bezigheden" (Figures, Professions and Activities) is a series of 12 woodcuts created by I.I. de Lanier sometime between 1822 and 1849. This broadside is divided into 12 individual scenes depicting various activities of everyday life in 19th century Dutch society. Each scene is accompanied by a short text that describes the activity and the setting. These charming woodcuts showcase a unique perspective on Dutch rural life during this period. This piece is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam.
