Hoorndrager after 1586

"Hoorndrager" (Horn-bearer), a 16th-century etching by Nicolaes Jansz. Clock, depicts a comical scene. A man is standing in a cluttered room, holding his hand to his head. The Latin inscription at the bottom of the image suggests a humorous scene of infidelity, with an owl perched on a branch observing the scene. The etching captures the essence of a Dutch genre scene, showcasing the everyday life of the people. This artwork is now held in the Rijksmuseum.
