Published in 1771 by the fictious 'Overijsselsch Kunstgenootshap'
Executed by Bernardus Schreuder after Adrian van Ostade.
Schreuder worked for a while in collaboration with Cornelis Ploos van Amstel.
After an argument he started for himself, making print drawings.
Born in Haarlem in 1610, Adrian van Ostade trained with Frans Hals.
He remained there for the rest of his life and died 1685,
very influential , having had pupils like Cornelis Bega, Cornelis Dusart and Jan Steen.
His oeuvre gravé consists of 50 genre prints.
Godefroy mentions the edition of Ostade's etchings by the
Overyssels Konstgenootschap
(The Society of Fine Arts of Overijssel)
printed in colour, probably following
L. E. Faucheux
Supplement au Peintre-Graveur de Bartsch
Catalogue de toutes les estampes qui forment l'oeuvre gravé d'Adrian van Ostade
Paris 1862
who described on pag. XV such a publication of twenty-three prints.
Until today there seems not any edition like this to be known.
Faucheux was probably confused by the Society's publication
of a set of copies printed in colour after Ostade's etchings
by Bernard Schreuder (died 1780)
Het werk van den Alöm beroemde Konst-Schilder Adriaan van Ostade,
Volgens de Mannier als Tekeningen in het Koper gebragt, en met alle zyn Kleuren gedrukt,
Door Het Overyssels Konsthenootschap,
Onder de Zinspreuk
ARTIUM TRISTIS IANVA
This set was probably first published in 1771 and offered for sale with
Frederik Willem Greebe on the Dam in Amsterdam.
A complete copy of this work is to be found in the
Rijksprentenkabinet. Amsterdam
