This 17th-century Dutch emblem print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man kneeling in prayer, contemplating his past achievements and the path ahead. The central figure, dressed in a long robe, looks towards a narrow, winding path leading upwards towards a divine light. Above, angels and a heavenly figure symbolize the afterlife, while the man's journey is marked by various symbols, including a skeleton representing mortality. This complex and symbolic composition reflects the anxieties and aspirations of the age.
