Dienstmeid gooit een portretbuste uit het raam 1778 - 1785

This etching, “Dienstmeid gooit een portretbuste uit het raam” (Maid throws a portrait bust out the window), created by Noach van der (II) Meer between 1778 and 1785, depicts a humorous scene. A maid throws a bust of a man out of a window into a courtyard, as a dog runs by. The maid appears to be escaping from the room with another individual. The artwork provides a glimpse into daily life in 18th-century Amsterdam. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
