EDITORS COMMENTS
Cornelis Bega's etching, "Sitting Man with His Hat in His Right Hand," captures a moment of relaxation and enjoyment for a 17th century agricultural laborer. Dressed in traditional clothing of the time, the man sits on a wooden stool, his hat in hand, and gazes off into the distance with a contented expression. In his left hand, he holds a drinking vessel, filled with what appears to be liquor. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the agricultural workers of the Netherlands during this era. The etching is a reminder of the long hours spent toiling on the farm, and the simple pleasures that could be found in the quiet moments of leisure. The man's attire, consisting of a shirt, waistcoat, and breeches, is typical of the clothing worn by the agricultural class during this period. The monochrome palette of the etching adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a simpler time. This artwork is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a unique perspective on the social class and daily life of the 17th century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is just one of the many esteemed institutions that have recognized the historical significance of Cornelis Bega's work, and this etching is a prized piece of heritage art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers today.
