"Herbegrafenis van de vrouw te Arnhem, 1783" is an etching by Dutch artist Mathias de Sallieth, dating from 1787. The etching depicts a funeral procession in a park-like setting, with a gate in the foreground and a small group of mourners in the background. This work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases De Sallieth's signature style of delicate linework and atmospheric detail, characteristic of Dutch 18th-century art. It provides a glimpse into the funeral practices of the time and the artist's keen observation of everyday life. The scene is rendered with a sense of calm solemnity, highlighting the somber mood of the occasion.
