This 1718 engraving by Dutch artist Bernard Picart, titled "François de Maucroix geflankeerd door de Kerk en Hymen," depicts French poet François de Maucroix flanked by the figures of the Church and Hymen, god of marriage. The image uses an elaborate Baroque frame, typical of Picart's style, and is an example of the use of allegory in art. It is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
