"Geluk als een vrouwelijke nar / val uit een boot" (1707) is an etching by Dutch artist Jan Goeree (1670-1731). This small, detailed print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two scenes, both referencing a theme of misfortune. The top scene shows a woman in a lavish gown being tricked by a male figure who seems to be mocking her with a gesture toward his mouth. Below, a man has fallen overboard from his boat, highlighting the dangers of overconfidence and the unexpected nature of life's twists and turns. Goeree’s work reflects a popular 18th-century theme of satire and morality.
