"Twee vrienden bij een tafel" (Two friends at a table), created by Noach van der (II) Meer between 1778 and 1785, is an etching that depicts two men seated at a table in an interior setting. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the intimate exchange between the two figures, who appear to be engaged in conversation.
