"Vier voorstellingen uit de klassieke geschiedenis" is a collection of four etchings by Dutch artist Simon Fokke, dating from 1722-1784. The etchings depict scenes from classical history, with titles and descriptions in Dutch, such as "Coriolanus door zijn moeder geredden" (Coriolanus saved by his mother). Fokke’s meticulous detail and mastery of light and shadow bring the scenes to life, making this work a valuable example of Dutch etching from the 18th century. The work is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
