This is a title page for the 1840-1878 edition of “Aurora” by Dutch artist Jan Baptist Tetar van Elven. The print depicts a winged figure, likely Aurora, goddess of the dawn, and four cherubic figures. The artist's meticulous detail captures the interplay of light and shadow as well as the cherubic figures, who carry musical instruments and scrolls. The print is a testament to the visual artistry of the period and showcases Tetar van Elven's talent for capturing the divine in a visually compelling way. The artwork is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
