This lithograph, "Man met hoed gezeten op de hoek van een straat bij een kist en aap," (Man Sitting on a Street Corner With a Chest and a Monkey), was created between 1825 and 1863 by Belgian artist Guillaume Joseph Vertommen (1815-1863). The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man, likely a street performer, sitting on a crate with a monkey on a leash. The scene is rendered in a dark, atmospheric style, highlighting the figures against the backdrop of a shadowed street corner. This piece reflects Vertommen's interest in capturing everyday scenes, often featuring figures from the lower classes, and is a prime example of his realism.
