This 1723 engraving by Pieter van den Berge is a title page commemorating the wedding of Johannes van Coevenhoven and Maria Hoos. The central image depicts a classical scene of a couple being joined by a figure holding a torch, likely symbolizing the joining of the two individuals. The engraving is framed by a wreath of leaves and the text surrounding the scene provides details about the couple and the date of the wedding. This piece is a great example of the Dutch tradition of creating commemorative engravings for important events.
