Cornelis Dusart (Aft.), Antique Etching on Paper, Village Scene, Signed
Intricately detailed etching and copperplate engraving after Cornelis Dusart, capturing the raucous energy of a village festival. Known for his vivid depictions of Dutch peasant life, Dusart fills this scene with animated figures in various states of revelry, mischief, and merriment. The composition features tavern-goers, dancers, musicians, street performers, and bystanders across a bustling village setting, all rendered in masterful line work and rich textural detail. Signed in plate lower left with the artist's name and date, the etching exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age genre style, rooted in the tradition of Jan Steen and Adriaen van Ostade, Dusart's teacher. Notable for its satirical edge and lively social commentary, this piece serves as both a humorous narrative and a technically accomplished work of art. Framed and matted, it remains in fine condition with a strong impression.
