'T gebruik der zinnen is, ô jeugd! u ingeschapen, / Blyf aan 't misbruik 'er van dan nimmer u vergaapen, / Maar meester van den toom der zinnen, zyn zy goed, / En alle wei gesteld, schik daar naar uw gemoed 1715 - 1813

This 18th century Dutch satirical print by J. Robyn, titled "T gebruik der zinnen is, ô jeugd! u ingeschapen", depicts five different individuals representing the five senses. Each figure is framed within a circular medallion with a ribbon beneath, labeled with a corresponding sense: 't Gehoor, 't Gevoel, 't Gezigt, 't Smaak, and 't Ruik. The artist uses a simplistic style to create humorous and exaggerated caricatures, making the print a humorous commentary on human nature. This print is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
