Marskramer demonstreert zijn koopwaar c. 1590 - 1615

This etching, “Marskramer demonstreert zijn koopwaar” (c. 1590 - 1615) by Gillis van Breen, depicts a scene with a street vendor, a customer, and a third figure. The vendor appears to be showing the customer something from his wares, while the third figure sits by with a dog. The etching is executed in a detailed, realistic style typical of the Dutch Golden Age, with strong lines and meticulous hatching, highlighting the texture of the clothing and the expressions on the figures' faces. The work is now located in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the social life of 17th century Netherlands.
