This 18th century engraving, created by an anonymous artist around 1771, depicts a young woman kneeling on a pedestal as Cupid crowns her with a wreath. The print likely served as a decorative piece for the collection of a wealthy individual, like the Duke de Choiseul mentioned in the inscription. The artwork exemplifies the Rococo style, characterized by its playful and decorative motifs. It is now a part of the Rijksmuseum collection and is considered a valuable example of 18th-century printmaking.
