Nacht 1692 - 1739

This engraving, "Nacht" (Night), created between 1692 and 1739 by Louis Desplaces, depicts a classical allegory of Night. The image shows a woman in a flowing gown holding a torch, symbolizing the transition from day to night. Her pose and expression suggest a sense of calm and serenity, embodying the peacefulness associated with the night. This print was likely part of a larger series and provides a glimpse into the artistic styles and themes popular during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
