"The Anglers" (Hollstein 26) is a renowned etching by the Dutch Golden Age artist Adriaen Jansz. van Ostade (1610–1685). Known for his genre scenes depicting the lives of peasants and country folk, Van Ostade's work often includes a humorous or moralizing element, reflecting the social attitudes and customs of his time. "The Anglers" is a fine example of his mastery in capturing the rustic charm and simplicity of rural pastimes.

Created in the 17th century, this etching illustrates two figures engaged in fishing, a popular leisure activity that has been a subject of artistic representation for centuries. The scene is likely set in the Dutch countryside, a common backdrop for Van Ostade's pieces. The artwork showcases the artist's skillful use of line and composition to convey texture and depth, creating a lively and engaging scene that invites viewers to ponder the narrative behind the characters' interaction.

As a member of the prolific Ostade family of painters, Adriaen Jansz. van Ostade was an influential figure in the Haarlem school of painting and had a significant impact on the genre of peasant scenes. "The Anglers" not only reflects the artist's technical prowess but also provides insight into the cultural and social milieu of the Dutch Republic during its Golden Age.

This etching is catalogued as number 26 in the Hollstein reference, which is a comprehensive catalogue of Dutch and Flemish etchings, engravings, and woodcuts up to the year 1700, compiled by Friedrich Wilhelm Hollstein.
