Beschouw al vroeg, ô jeugd! de staten van het leven, / Van trap tot trap: u wordt in dit prent-tafreel gegeven [(...)] 1806 - 1830

This 1806 - 1830 print, titled "Beschouw al vroeg, ô jeugd! de staten van het leven, / Van trap tot trap: u wordt in dit prent-tafreel gegeven", by the artist J. Robyn, is a visual representation of the stages of life. The image, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts figures at different stages of life, arranged on a series of steps leading to a central platform. Each step is marked with a numerical age, culminating at 60, with the final step depicting death. The print serves as a reminder of the transience of life and the importance of living virtuously.
