This 1711 engraving by Pieter Sluyter is a title page for a collection of wedding poems celebrating the marriage of Jacob van Lennep Aarnoudsz. and Petronella de Neufville. It is a highly allegorical piece, with figures representing various virtues and concepts, such as fidelity, peace, and prosperity. The central motif features the couple being blessed by a radiant eye, symbolizing divine favor. This intricate design, typical of Dutch Baroque engraving, reflects the significance of the occasion and the importance of marriage within the social fabric of 18th-century Dutch society.
