The Dutch on the Ice · The Old Game
Het Kolfspel (The Game of Kolf)
Netherlandish engraver, 1654 · engraving
What it is
A 1654 engraving titled, plainly, the game of kolf: players, clubs, and the stake being argued over.
Why it matters
Naming matters in a provenance house. This is the old game captioned as itself, in its own century, in its own language.
What to notice
There is money on the ground. The wager is as old as the swing.
Nobody has ever played this game for nothing.
