"Hier ziet ge, ô kinders! u ten afschrik, afgebeeld, / Welke ongeregeldheên het kwaad huishouden teelt. / Daar man en vrouw weêrzyds door tweedragt aangedreven, / In dronkenschap, gekyf en slaan, elendig even," is a moralizing print created by Dutch artist Johan Noman between 1806 and 1830. The two-part print depicts a scene of domestic strife, showing the chaos that can ensue when marital discord leads to alcoholism and physical violence. The print, which is on display at the Rijksmuseum, serves as a cautionary tale for viewers of the dangers of unchecked vice and the importance of maintaining a harmonious household.
