Wat ziet men meningeen het hooft gesierd met krullen / Om op het jaar-gety te drinken en te smullen 1767 - 1793

This print, "Wat ziet men meningeen het hooft gesierd met krullen," was created by Erven Hendrik van der Putte, and is currently held in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork presents four distinct scenes arranged in a grid, each teeming with figures and architectural details. These vignettes are rendered with a crisp, linear precision, characteristic of engravings, which gives a structured, almost theatrical quality to each scene. The composition of each panel uses linear perspective to draw the viewer's eye deeper into the narrative, though somewhat naively. The use of line becomes paramount, defining forms and delineating space within these compressed environments. This technique challenges the traditional use of perspective to create depth. The arrangement invites a sequential reading, reminiscent of early comic strips. The print seems to challenge fixed notions of festive celebration by portraying these scenes within a formal, grid-like structure, suggesting a deeper, perhaps satirical, commentary on social rituals.
