About this work

This print shows a crowded Amsterdam theater in 1768. The stage has actors in wigs and fancy clothes. The audience watches from box seats. Look at the man in the middle wearing a big hat. He’s laughing hard. Other people whisper or stare at their programs. This is one of many prints Fokke made. They show everyday life in old Amsterdam. See more like it at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
