Marie Lambertine Coclers

Marie Lambertine Coclers was an artist active in the graphic arts, with verifiable output concentrated around 1776. The artist’s documented body of work consists primarily of prints, reflecting a focus on everyday genre scenes and character studies typical of the period.

The artistic relevance of Coclers is established by the inclusion of their work in institutional holdings. Nine prints by the artist are currently represented in major museum collections, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. These works provide insight into 18th-century visual culture through finely detailed observation.

The documented Marie Lambertine Coclers prints include genre subjects such as Bakker met mand met broden and Boer en boerin met kind voor een huis, alongside scenes capturing popular activities, exemplified by Een man en twee jongens aan het knikkeren. The output also includes focused portraiture, such as Manshoofd in profiel naar links, met pet en bril. Due to the historical nature of the artist’s activity, much of this material resides in the public domain and is often distributed today as high-quality prints.
