This 19th-century print by Glenisson & Zonen, titled "Eentoonigheid verveelt, verwisseling streelt het oog" (Monotony bores, variety pleases the eye), features eight satirical vignettes. Each scene depicts a moral lesson through allegorical imagery. The scenes, printed in black ink, are accompanied by explanatory texts in Dutch and French, which reinforce the moralistic message of the artwork. The print is a testament to the popularity of didactic imagery in 19th-century art and offers a glimpse into the social and moral values of the time.
