This 1724 etching by Jacob Gole, titled "Vrijende non en monnik" (Eng: "Nuns and Monks Making Love"), depicts a nun and a monk in a close embrace. The work is a satirical commentary on the hypocrisy of religious figures and the institution of the church, a theme common in art of the era. This small, intimate scene exemplifies the use of etching as a medium to address social issues and provoke thought. The artwork is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
