Treurende figuren aan een ziekbed 1761

"Treurende figuren aan een ziekbed" (Mourning figures at a sickbed) is an etching by Dutch artist Jacob Folkema from 1761. The piece depicts a group of figures gathered around a bed, with a man standing at the foot and several women surrounding the bed. Folkema's use of shading and detail creates a sense of sorrow and solemnity, characteristic of his etching style. This piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies the artist's ability to capture emotional complexity within a small format.
