Vijf zingende mannen 1692 - 1745

"Vijf zingende mannen" (Five Singing Men) is an etching by Matteo Ripa, depicting a group of men with exaggerated features and expressions as they sing from a sheet of music. The artwork, completed between 1692 and 1745, is a prime example of Ripa's satirical style, which often depicted societal figures and foibles with humorous and sometimes grotesque distortions. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and measures 102 mm by 144 mm.
