Wekken van de jonge meisjes 1778 - 1785

"Wekken van de jonge meisjes" ("Waking up the young girls") is an etching by Noach van der (II) Meer. The artwork depicts a scene within a home, with a woman partially obscured by a curtain, seemingly waking from sleep. This engraving is part of a series titled "De Looze Meisjes" or "The Loose Girls" published in 1785. The series was created by Noach van der Meer, a prolific artist of his time, and is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. This piece, like others in the series, explores themes of morality and domesticity.
