Reinier Vinkeles' "Titelpagina voor: 'Lykdichten op Vrouwe Ida Cornelia Temminck'" (1751-1816) is an engraving that depicts a scene of mourning. The central figures are a woman and a man, likely representing the deceased and a mourner, seated on a tomb with a skeletal figure at their feet. An angel, symbolizing immortality, hovers above them, placing a wreath on the woman's head. This engraving is a poignant example of 18th-century funerary art and the Dutch tradition of "Lykdichten" (funeral poems). The piece is housed in the Rijksmuseum and measures 244 mm in height and 197 mm in width.
