This is a woodblock print from the 18th century by Johannes (II) Kannewet. The work is made up of thirty-six small squares, each depicting a scene from Dutch proverbs and sayings. The work was created during the Dutch Golden Age when the use of proverbs was prevalent in Dutch culture. Each square has a caption in Dutch, making this print an educational tool that taught children common proverbs. The artist likely used the popular technique of woodblock printing to create multiple copies of the print.
