Gedenkprent uitgereikt aan dragers van de nieuwe rouwlinten, 1794 1794

This etching, "Gedenkprent uitgereikt aan dragers van de nieuwe rouwlinten, 1794," by Izaak Jansz. de Wit depicts a commemorative design created for mourners wearing new mourning ribbons in 1794. The design features a large, blank rectangular space for inscription, flanked by skulls, a weeping willow tree, and a scene of figures mourning, possibly representing the Dutch population grieving during a time of political upheaval. This print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a poignant reminder of the cultural and historical significance of mourning rituals.
