This etching by Salomon Savery, created in 1649, is a title page design for a collection of plays. The central figure is a winged female angel, her pose dynamic and energetic as she flies holding two banners. The banners feature a coat of arms and a horn which she blows to announce the events to come. This intricate composition suggests an exciting and memorable spectacle and its small scale speaks to its private, intimate nature. The etching can be found in the Rijksmuseum. Salomon Savery (1594-1678) was a prominent Dutch artist known for his work in various artistic mediums including drawing, etching, and painting.
