This etching by Abraham Dircksz. Santvoort, titled "Drie huwelijken" (Three Marriages), depicts a theatrical scene with a grand stage set and many figures. The artwork was likely made as a promotional piece for a play, as the title card at the top indicates it is for a tragedy in verse by Pierre Corneille, "Agesilas". The scene features a group of individuals standing in front of an elaborate, draped stage. The artwork's detailed and meticulous style is typical of the Dutch Golden Age.
