This 18th century Dutch broadside, *Wat zegt gy nu van deze zaken, ô kinderen! zyn zy niet zeer schoon? / Welaan! wilt u 'er meê vermaken. / Men spreidt ze voor uw oog ten toon,* by Hermanus Numan, portrays a series of vignettes depicting various scenes from daily life. The print, comprised of 16 individual scenes, is a humorous commentary on human behavior, with each image accompanied by a rhyme that reinforces the satirical message. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to Numan's talent for capturing the nuances of everyday life through vivid imagery and witty verse.
