"Wijsgeer houdt een redevoering voor een slapend publiek" (1800-1805) by Jacob Ernst Marcus is a satirical watercolor that depicts a scene of a philosopher lecturing to a group of men who are all asleep. This humorous artwork, which is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, critiques the perceived apathy of audiences towards intellectual discourse. The exaggerated poses and expressions of the sleeping men highlight the artist's witty commentary on the intellectual climate of the time.
