Man bij een stervende vrouw 1785

This etching by Noach van der (II) Meer, titled "Man bij een stervende vrouw", depicts a man standing beside a woman lying in a bed. The man is holding the woman's hand, and the scene is likely depicting a moment of profound grief and loss. The artwork's somber tone and intimate subject matter are characteristic of 18th-century Dutch art, and it is a powerful reminder of the fragility of life. The artwork is currently located at the Rijksmuseum and is a poignant example of Noach van der (II) Meer's talent for capturing emotional depth.
