Noach van der (II) Meer's engraving "Gedenkteken voor Henricus van Herwerden" depicts a commemorative monument dedicated to the Dutch theologian Henricus van Herwerden. The artwork features a classical mausoleum-like structure adorned with the deceased's portrait and allegorical figures. A weeping angel and a draped female figure symbolize grief and mourning, while the surrounding imagery like books and writing implements represent the scholar's intellectual legacy. Created after 1805, the print demonstrates the artist's mastery in capturing the somber yet dignified atmosphere of a memorial portrait.
