Two country prints: (1) Cornelis Bega (ca. 1631/1632-1664). (Farmer with pipe at table).

Etching, 9.2 x 8 cm.

Partly foxed, vague fold and with traces of mounting on reverse, yet a lovely imprint. Hollstein 20, second print run of four. Fine character portrait, in all its reserved simplicity iconic for the Dutch Golden Age; (2) An etched copy after Van Ostade (prayer before the meal) (total 2).
