This anonymous 1748 engraving, titled "Allegorische voorstelling met Geschiedenis en vrouw met vleugels aan het hoofd," depicts two winged women. One is seated, writing, while the other stands, possibly gesturing towards a stone slab with an inscription. The scene may be allegorical, possibly representing historical knowledge, or a historical figure. This print was published in Gorinchem by the Goetzee family, a Dutch printing firm. The use of engravings was popular for book illustrations and the printing of small works, especially during the 18th century.
