This print, "Vier voorstellingen uit de klassieke geschiedenis" (Four Representations from Classical History), is a series of four etchings by Dutch artist Simon Fokke, dating from 1722 to 1784. The etchings depict scenes from ancient Roman history, showcasing the artist’s detailed depiction of battles and dramatic events. The print’s small size and use of etching technique suggest it was likely intended for personal study or display, offering a glimpse into the world of classical history through the lens of 18th-century Dutch art. The artwork is now held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
