Hoe wordt dit schoon geboomt' verzorgd, door maagden en door knapen! / Een enkle, (die wis zieklyk is,) ligt aan den voet te slapen 1806 - 1830

This 19th-century satirical print by Gerrit Oortman depicts a scene of social commentary on the Dutch society of the time. The artwork, titled “Hoe wordt dit schoonen geboomt' verzorgd, door maagden en door knapen!” (How is this beautiful tree taken care of, by maidens and by boys!), features a tree with numerous individuals perched upon it, while others on the ground interact in an ambiguous manner. This piece showcases Oortman's distinctive style of etching, utilizing fine lines and a light tonal range to create a humorous and thought-provoking visual.
