"Tafereelen uit het leven van Michiel Adriaansz. de Ruiter" (Scenes from the Life of Michiel Adriaansz. de Ruyter), a 1850 print by Jan Schuitemaker, depicts six scenes from the life of Dutch admiral Michiel de Ruyter. Each scene is depicted with a caption in Dutch and a short verse describing the scene. The print is characteristic of 19th-century Dutch illustrative prints, using simple lines and detailed scenes to tell a story. The print is made up of six scenes arranged in a grid format, which give a narrative to the story of the admiral, known for his victories in naval battles against the English.
