"Ziet eens leesgierige jeugd / Wat men u weer op komt dissen […]" is a woodcut print by the weduwe Hendrik van der Putte, dating back to 1765-1767, and now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The work showcases a series of twelve vignettes depicting scenes from the Bible, each encased in an oval frame. The intricate details of the woodcuts, achieved through meticulous carving and printing, provide a glimpse into the artistry of the time. The print's title, translating to "Look, you curious youth / What is being served up to you again [...]", hints at its intended audience: a young, eager readership seeking moral instruction and biblical knowledge.
