In 't Jaar 1637 c. 1789 - 1810

"In 't Jaar 1637" is an anonymous pen-and-ink drawing depicting a street scene in Amsterdam, likely around the year 1637. The artist captures a bustling market, with figures buying and selling plants, perhaps in a city square or outside a garden nursery. This small-scale artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into daily life in 17th-century Amsterdam. The detail in the building facades, the cobbled street, and the clothing of the figures provides a sense of realism and historical accuracy.
