Familie met op de achtergrond een dorp onder water 1834

"Diederik en Oda" is an 1834 etching by Dutch artist Philippus Velijn, depicting a family in distress. The scene likely portrays the aftermath of a natural disaster, perhaps a flood, with a village submerged in the background. The central figure is a man sitting on a rock, weeping, while a woman and a child stand beside him. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a poignant glimpse into the hardships faced by ordinary people in 19th-century Netherlands.
