The Bookshop and Lottery Agency of Jan de Groot in the Kalverstraat in Amsterdam, 1779

Isaac Ouwater, 1748-1793

Oil on canvas

The scene portrays the start of the lottery ticket sales organised by the
States General on 25 October 1779. It was the immediate forerunner of the
National Lottery which still exists, as does the house seen here.
