This is a print by Noach van der Meer, created between 1806 and 1808, titled *Gedenkteken voor Jan Nieuwenhuyzen* and located at the Rijksmuseum. The image depicts a neoclassical memorial to Jan Nieuwenhuyzen, a Dutch merchant and politician. The memorial is a stylized representation of a tomb, with an urn draped in cloth, a wreath of laurel, and a torch. The inscription on the memorial is dedicated to Nieuwenhuyzen's accomplishments as a merchant, and it was designed by Noach van der Meer as part of a larger body of work celebrating the city's merchants.
