"Tekenkunst" (Drawing Art) is an engraving by Dutch artist Noach van der (II) Meer, created between 1777 and 1800. The artwork depicts a female figure seated in an artist's studio, engaged in drawing. This allegorical representation of drawing as an art form is a testament to the cultural appreciation of the arts during the late 18th century.
