This engraving by Noach van der (II) Meer, after 1806, commemorates the life of Jan Nieuwenhuyzen, a Dutch mayor of Amsterdam. The work shows a monumental tomb with a draped urn, laurels, and a torch, signifying his achievements. Two medals, depicting the tomb and a laurel wreath, underscore his civic contributions, emphasizing the importance of his legacy. The detailed engraving, typical of the Neoclassical style, highlights the artist's skill and the reverence for the deceased mayor. The work resides in the Rijksmuseum and is a valuable historical document for the study of Dutch art and politics.
