Schoolmeester voor klas 1763 - 1804

"Schoolmeester voor klas" (Schoolmaster for Class) is an engraving by Johann Friedrich Gottlieb Unger (1755-1804), depicting a schoolmaster handing a certificate to a student. Created between 1763 and 1804, the artwork portrays a classroom scene with the schoolmaster standing at the front and students lined up to receive their certificates. The detailed engraving captures the formality and importance of education in the 18th century, reflecting Unger's focus on the everyday life of people in his art. The piece is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection and is a valuable document of social history.
