Gérard Jean-Baptiste Scotin's 1728 etching "Arion spring overboord op een dolfijn" depicts the Greek poet Arion being rescued by a dolphin. The scene is framed by an elaborate cartouche with an elaborate design featuring a coat of arms and two angels. This etching, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the Baroque artist’s skill in creating detailed and expressive imagery and provides a visual representation of a famous myth.
