Item Description

Etching, 1652.(G., H. 31). 4 x 3 ½”. Signed and dated in the bottom left corner. A fine impression.

Adriaen van Ostade,  (born Dec. 10, 1610, Haarlem, Neth.—buried May 2, 1685, Haarlem), painter and printmaker of the Baroque period known for his genre pictures of Dutch peasant life. He also did religious subjects, portraits, and landscapes. Van Ostade was a prolific artist, executing his small-scale works in oil, usually on wood panels. He also worked in watercolour, did spirited pen drawings, and produced about 50 etchings. His works won him much popularity during his lifetime, and in 1662 he was made president of the Haarlem painters’ guild.

Van Ostede was a renowned contemporary of Rembrandt during Holland’s Golden Age. He painted and etched genre subjects that depicted everyday life, and appear in every major museum.
