The scene depicts a significant event where the fate and fortunes of many individuals hang in the balance. In this print, we see a young boy seated between two barrels, diligently drawing out winning tickets from an enormous pool. Behind him stand two gentlemen eagerly awaiting their turn to receive these life-changing results. The tension is palpable as they anxiously anticipate their luck being revealed. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Pieter van den Berge, who skillfully captures the excitement and anticipation that surrounds such events. Through his intricate detailing and precise craftsmanship, he transports us back to this historical moment with great authenticity.
