1646 1649 Adriaen Van Ostade Apron Back Beggar Craftsman Farmer Haarlem Hands Male Male Sex Mentioned Shopkeeper
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a fascinating scene from the 17th century. In the image, we see a standing farmer with his hands resting on his back, seemingly deep in thought. Standing beside him is a beggar, mirroring the farmer's posture and also placing his hands on his back. The contrast between their positions suggests an intriguing connection between these two individuals. What makes this composition even more intriguing is the apron worn by the man beside the farmer. This distinctive garment indicates that he belongs to a different profession, possibly that of a shopkeeper or craftsman. It adds another layer of complexity to this snapshot of everyday life in Haarlem during 1646-1649. The artist behind this etching is Adriaen van Ostade, whose name is mentioned on the object itself. Through his masterful technique, van Ostade brings these characters to life on paper with incredible detail and realism. As we delve into this remarkable piece of artistry, it sparks our curiosity about these men's stories and their relationship within society at that time. The male figures portrayed here exude strength and resilience while hinting at deeper narratives waiting to be discovered
