This engraving by Bernard Picart, titled "Letter I en de huwelijksgod Hymen" is a beautifully rendered depiction of the Roman god Hymen, holding a torch and sitting within the letter I. The detailed image is framed by a decorative border and depicts Hymen in a classical setting, holding a palette with two roses. This print is likely from an illustrated book and is an excellent example of the intricate and artistic engravings popular in the 18th century. It showcases the artist's skill in capturing both the human form and the delicate details of the setting.
