This title page vignette by Georg Christian Schule, created in 1783, features a scene from Samuel Richardson's novel "Clarissa Harlowe". The vignette is a circular etching set within a decorative frame, showing a woman standing in a room, possibly a bedroom, with an open door behind her. The scene depicts a moment of emotional distress or uncertainty in Clarissa's story, emphasizing the novel's themes of love, morality, and social pressures. This artwork served as the frontispiece for the fourth part of the Danish translation of Richardson's novel, printed in Copenhagen in 1786. The vignette's intricate details and dramatic composition contribute to the overall visual appeal of the book cover and highlight its literary significance.
