Beschouwt hier, kinderen! de zinlyke eigenschappen, / of zinnen, alle vyf verbeeld naar rang en trappen, / En streelt uw zinnen zelv' door 't aangenaam sieraad, / Dat in dit prent-tafreel zich verder vinden laat 1806 - 1830

This 19th-century Dutch print by J. Robyn titled "Beschouwt hier, kinderen! de zinlyke eigenschappen, / of zinnen, alle vyf verbeeld naar rang en trappen, / En streelt uw zinnen zelv' door 't aangenaam sieraad, / Dat in dit prent-tafreel zich verder vinden laat" depicts the five senses - sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing - in a symbolic hierarchy. The artwork is a prime example of didactic art aimed at educating young viewers on the significance of the senses. The five senses are represented by five figures, each placed on a level according to its perceived importance, with sight at the top and smell at the bottom. The detail-oriented engravings in the style of the 19th century provide a visual feast for viewers, and the accompanying verses offer further insights into the meaning behind each sense.
