Drie encyclopedische voorstellingen 1765 - 1806

"Drie encyclopedische voorstellingen" is a three-part etching created by Johann David (I) Schleuen in 1765-1806. This print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts three historical scenes: an assembly, a ceremonial procession, and a religious ceremony. The artist utilizes detailed, realistic lines to capture the grandeur and solemnity of each event. Schleuen's etching serves as a visual record of historical moments, providing insight into the attire, architecture, and rituals of the era. The small dimensions of the print, 176mm by 233mm, create a sense of intimacy and allow for a focused view of the intricate details.
