Terwijl Reinhart bij kaarslicht zit te schrijven komt zijn hond bij hem 1791 - 1798

Reinier Vinkeles’s etching *Terwijl Reinhart bij kaarslicht zit te schrijven komt zijn hond bij hem*, dating from 1791-1798, depicts a man seated at a table illuminated by candlelight, writing. A dog approaches him, seeming to offer comfort in the dimly lit room. The etching is a representation of a simple domestic scene, typical of the Dutch Golden Age, emphasizing the peaceful and intimate aspects of everyday life. The use of chiaroscuro, with strong contrasts of light and dark, adds to the intimate mood and the focus on the figures. This etching is held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
