Picart, a Dutch artist known for his engravings, created this work in 1727. The piece is a fine example of the decorative engraving style popular in the 18th century, and highlights Picart's ability to capture intricate details in his work. The "Vier penningen" can be viewed today at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
