Jager schiet haas en boer c. 1865 - 1866

Johannes Henderikus Morriën's "Jager schiet haas en boer" is a humorous print depicting a hunter aiming at a rabbit while accidentally striking a nearby farmer. The scene is set in a rural landscape with trees and fields, and the artwork captures the comical moment of the farmer reacting to the unexpected impact. The use of black and white creates a sense of realism and emphasizes the dynamism of the event. The Dutch caption "Twee vliegen in een klap" translates to "Two flies with one swat," playing on the double meaning of hitting both the rabbit and the farmer. This print is a fine example of Morriën's skill in capturing everyday scenes with humor and precision.
