Man met kruik 1781 - 1822

"Man met kruik" (Man with a Jug) is an etching by Dutch artist Hermanus Fock, created between 1781 and 1822. The print depicts a man, likely a peasant, holding a large jug with both hands. The image is rendered in brown tones with subtle shading, emphasizing the texture of the man's clothing and the form of the jug. This intimate portrait, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Fock's skill in capturing the details of everyday life and the dignity of his subject.
