This etching by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe, titled "Titelpagina voor het pamflet: De Geplukte Tapoeijer," depicts a scene of a fallen figure being attacked by a bird of prey, possibly an eagle. The image was created in 1702 as a title page for a pamphlet, and it showcases de Hooghe's skill in detailed, intricate linework. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. This etching is a powerful visual metaphor for the fragility of human life and the relentless forces of nature.
