This 1640 engraving by Crispijn van de Passe II features two sets of verses, one for "Amolosa C.S." and another for "Deboreda V.D.V.A." The verses are likely poems praising the two women depicted in the engraving, likely Dutch nobility. The formal inscription and detailed script of the engraving reflect the popularity of printmaking as a form of artistic expression in 17th century Europe.
