Geleerden rond een tafel 1653 - 1662

"Geleerden rond een tafel" (Scholars around a table) is an etching created by Jacob van Meurs between 1653 and 1662, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The print depicts nine men, likely scholars or theologians, gathered around a table covered in books and writing materials. The detailed rendering of their clothing and the formal setting suggests a scholarly gathering or a scene from a historical event. The etching is a testament to Van Meurs' skill in capturing the nuances of human figures and creating a sense of realism and detail in his work.
