Title Page: Two Cripples Receiving Alms is a 1632 ink by Johannes van Vliet, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows two people in a rough scene. One is kneeling, holding a cup while another person leans in to give something. The second person stands, holding a staff and looking upward. The background is messy, with swirling lines and a few plants. The text in the middle reads *"Bestact Oms Lecie"* and the artist’s name is signed at the bottom. The artist used sharp lines to show the struggle and emotion in the scene. The technique makes the image feel urgent and raw. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
