Gedenkteken voor Johan Diederich Deiman 1783

"Gedenkteken voor Johan Diederich Deiman" is an etching by the Dutch artist Marten Houtman, created in 1783. The artwork depicts a mourning woman seated at the foot of a tomb, with an angel standing behind her. The woman is draped in a shroud, and she holds a skull in her lap. The angel appears to be pointing towards a blank oval space in the image, which would likely have contained a text inscription or portrait of the deceased, Johan Diederich Deiman. This etching is a poignant representation of grief and remembrance, typical of 18th-century Dutch art.
