Gezelschap in een bos 1816

"Gezelschap in een bos" is an etching created by Jacob Ernst Marcus in 1816. The black and white print depicts a group of figures, likely dressed in 18th century clothing, walking through a forest with a man in the foreground falling to the ground. This work, housed at the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Marcus' skill in capturing the dynamic movement of his subjects, which is emphasized by the use of contrasting light and shadow.
