This 17th-century Dutch emblem by an anonymous artist depicts a man being persuaded by an angel of the joys of a virtuous life. The engraving shows the man on the left, with an angel encouraging him to follow the path of virtue, while the right side depicts a vision of the afterlife with angels and divine figures. The stark contrast between the two sides highlights the choices the man faces and the consequences of each path. This intricate print, now at the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artistic style and moral instruction prevalent in Dutch art of the period.
