Man in een deuropening wordt begroet 1828

This 1828 engraving by Philippus Velijn depicts a dramatic scene from the Dutch novel "Emilia van Rozenheim" by A.B. van Meertens. The artwork is a frontispiece illustration for the first volume of the novel and showcases a scene with multiple figures in a room. One figure is lying on the floor, while others interact around a table. The engraving highlights the novel's dramatic nature and contributes to the rich visual culture of early 19th-century Dutch literature. The piece is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
