This 1804-1805 engraving by Reinier Vinkeles is the title page for A. Loosjes’ "Zedelijke Verhaalen" (Moral Tales). It depicts a scene of four women, likely allegorical figures, interacting under a draped canopy in a garden setting. The central figure in white holds a garland of flowers, and the women around her gesture towards it, suggesting a connection to the theme of virtue and morality represented in the book. This engraving, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is an example of Dutch art of the early 19th century.
