Reinier Vinkeles, a renowned Dutch engraver, created this title page for the "Book of Psalms" in 1779. The etching depicts two figures - a woman playing a harp and a woman with a book and a cross, symbolizing the music and scripture found in the psalter. The figures stand on either side of a pedestal with a burning brazier, representing the fervent devotion associated with the Psalms. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artistry and religious significance of this devotional text during the 18th century.
