Jacob Folkema's "Titelpreent voor het Tafereel der Dwaasheid," a title print for a play, showcases a baroque-style composition typical of the 18th century. The elaborate border, filled with whimsical figures and decorative elements, surrounds a central scene of two figures. This print is a satirical depiction of the Dutch economic bubble of the early 1700s, a subject that would have resonated strongly with the contemporary audience. It is housed at the Rijksmuseum, a testament to its cultural and historical significance.
