This is a title page by Romeyn de Hooghe for a pamphlet called "De Waarheid Boven Al" (Truth Above All), published in 1702. The etching depicts a nude figure standing with their back to the viewer, holding a drapery, while a monument is placed in the foreground. The figure is surrounded by a radiating light, and the design is full of symbolism, perhaps referencing the power of truth. This title page is characteristic of de Hooghe's work, which often featured allegorical and satirical elements.
