"Man wordt neergestoken naast een opgebaarde vrouw in een doodskist" (Man is stabbed next to a woman laid out in a coffin), created by Reinier Vinkeles in 1781, captures a moment of intense drama. The etching, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man being stabbed as he stands beside a coffin. The scene, illuminated by torches, unfolds in the dark, highlighting the violence of the act and the fear on the faces of the onlookers. This depiction of a gruesome crime was a popular subject for 18th-century Dutch art, reflecting the anxieties of a society struggling with poverty and crime.
