The Collector, 1777
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the world of finance and taxation in the Low Countries. Created by Bernhard Schreuder and published in 1786, this artwork showcases meticulous attention to detail through its use of chalk manner etching aquatint and roulette with burnishing printed in black ink. The scene unfolds inside an art gallery or possibly an accounting office, where a distinguished man can be seen engrossed in his work as a tax collector. With quill pen in hand, he meticulously inscribes figures onto an invoice while surrounded by stacks of bills and documents. The sepia tones give the image a sense of antiquity, transporting us to another era. This piece not only captures the essence of Dutch heritage but also highlights the importance of taxes and financial management during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, individuals like this tax inspector played crucial roles in maintaining order within society. As we admire "The Collector" we are reminded of Jan Havickszoon Steen's famous painting style which often depicted scenes from everyday life. This print pays homage to Steen's influence on Dutch art while showcasing Schreuder's own talent for capturing intricate details. Displayed proudly at the National Gallery of Art Washington, this artwork invites viewers to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. It serves as a testament to how art can provide insights into different professions throughout history while preserving cultural
