This 1786 engraving, titled "Het Nederlands vermaakeleik Gedenkblad om te Spelen" (The Dutch Entertaining Memorial Sheet for Playing), is a circular board game designed for entertainment. The circular board is divided into 12 sections, each representing a different aspect of Dutch life and history. Depicted in each section are prominent figures of the Dutch Republic, accompanied by dominoes and other symbols. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the spirit of the Dutch Republic during a period of political and cultural change, making it a valuable historical artifact and a fascinating example of 18th-century Dutch printmaking.
