This engraving by Jacob Folkema, titled "Vignet met de personificatie van Ondeugd," depicts the personification of mischief. The central figure, a young woman, stands within a stone archway and holds a bow and arrow, suggesting playful mischief. The arch is flanked by monstrous creatures, hinting at the potential consequences of such behavior. The engraving is a striking visual representation of a common allegorical theme. This 18th-century artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers insight into Dutch artistic traditions and cultural values.
