Embleem met man die zijn vrienden aanraadt te leven in deugd 1620

"Embleem met man die zijn vrienden aanraadt te leven in deugd" is a 1620 engraving by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. This artwork features a group of men in conversation, possibly allegorical figures, against a backdrop of a landscape with a river and town. The scene is illuminated from above by rays of light. The inscription on the lower left portion of the engraving suggests a connection to virtues, implying a deeper allegorical message. The artwork's small size, 139 mm by 97 mm, makes it a fine example of the artistry and detail employed in printmaking during the Dutch Golden Age.
