This 17th century etching by Hubert Schaten, titled "Sophie Charlotte Weigber", depicts the subject in an oval frame adorned with a laurel wreath and ribbon. She holds a potted plant, symbolizing life and growth. The inscription below the frame reads "Sie wahr ley eine Blum in Gottes Erdens Garten Doch jed ich Zeitig ao im Himmel mich zu art" meaning "She was indeed a flower in God’s earthly garden, yet in time, she has been planted in heaven." This etching serves as a tribute to Sophie Charlotte Weigber and her legacy.
