Treurende putti bij een graf 1767

This is a title page, or frontispiece, for a book of mourning verses, or *treurgift*, dedicated to the memory of Susanne Olympe de Stoppellaar. It was created by Robbert Muys in 1767, and depicts three putti, or cherubic figures, mourning over a tomb, a common motif in 18th century Dutch *treurgift* art. The image is engraved in the style of Rococo art, emphasizing delicate ornamentation and asymmetry. The title page was printed by Jan de Groot in Delft, and is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
