This etching, *Vignet met de Titanide Phoebe*, created in 1743 by Dutch artist Jan Wandelaar, depicts the Titaness Phoebe in a woodland setting. She stands amidst trees, holding a torch and wearing a crescent moon on her head, referencing her association with the moon. The inscription below reads "Donec Tu Phoebe Latebis" (Until you hide, Phoebe), hinting at her role in controlling the cycles of the moon and its light. This print showcases Wandelaar's skill in creating a detailed and atmospheric depiction of classical mythology.
