This 1746 engraving by Pieter Tanjé commemorates the silver anniversary of Jacob Ploos van Amstel and Sara Rothé. The artwork depicts a decorative frame composed of ornate scrolls and floral motifs, containing two medallions. The upper medallion displays a seated figure, likely representing Jacob, working with a wheel while the lower medallion shows the couple standing together with the goddess Fortuna, signifying good luck. This print, now held in the Rijksmuseum, is an excellent example of Rococo art, renowned for its playful and asymmetrical designs.
