Personificatie van de Armoede als dochter van de Oorlog c. 1540 - 1560

"Personificatie van de Armoede als dochter van de Oorlog" (Personification of Poverty as Daughter of War) is a 16th-century engraving by Lambertus Suavius, a Dutch artist known for his detailed and expressive works. This small print, measuring only 103 mm by 75 mm, depicts Poverty as a seated woman, clad in simple garments, and framed by architectural elements, possibly symbolizing the harsh conditions she endures. The inscription "Pauperies. Belli. Filia." (Poverty, Daughter of War) reinforces the theme of poverty as a consequence of war, creating a poignant visual commentary on the social realities of the time.
