Scène uit een gedicht met een man in de armen van een vrouw 1776 - 1800

This anonymous engraving, created sometime between 1776 and 1800, depicts a scene from a poem, likely "The Dunciad," based on the inscription at the top of the image. The artwork features two figures in the foreground, likely representing characters from the poem, engaged in a passionate embrace. The composition uses a dramatic interplay of light and shadow, creating a sense of intimacy and emotion. The piece is a fine example of 18th-century engraving, showcasing the artist's mastery of line and detail. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the artwork is a testament to the enduring legacy of visual interpretation in literature.
