"Laat deze, Zwitsersche tafreelen, / O kind'ren, uwen kunstmin streelen, / En leert er uit, dat werkzaamheid, / En eenvoud zegen om zich spreidt," is a series of 16 engravings by Willem Bal, dating from 1850 to 1870. They are now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts scenes of Swiss peasant life, highlighting the virtues of hard work and simplicity, a moral message that Bal aimed to convey to his viewers. The engravings, printed in black and white with watercolor washes of color, show the simplicity of life and the importance of hard work.
