"Allegorie op het vijfentwintig jarig huwelijk" (Allegory of the Twenty-Fifth Wedding Anniversary) is a 1768 etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke. The image depicts a putti holding a circular plaque with the number "XXV" on it, which symbolizes the 25th anniversary. The putti is surrounded by a lush garden with trees, flowers, and birds, evoking the concept of a happy marriage. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an example of Fokke's skilled use of line and detail, creating a charming and symbolic representation of a milestone event in Dutch life.
