Vignet met rouwende figuren 1700 - 1800

"Vignet met rouwende figuren" (Vignette with Mourning Figures) is an anonymous etching from the 18th century, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The print depicts three figures in mourning, seated on a ledge with a decorative, shell-shaped cartouche below. The figures are draped in flowing robes and their heads are bowed in sorrow. The artwork's intricate details and melancholic subject matter are characteristic of the 18th-century Dutch printmaking tradition.
