This is a woodcut illustration from 1847, by Jan Schuitemaker, depicting scenes from the life of Johannes Henricus Nieuwold, a Dutch clergyman born in 1737 and died in 1812. The artwork is divided into four panels showing key moments in Nieuwold's life, including his time in school, his work as a pastor, and his final moments. This print was likely intended for a children's magazine, providing moral instruction to its young audience. The detailed, albeit simplistic, style of the woodcut, typical of the period, allows us to glimpse into the life of an influential figure in Dutch religious history.
