Vrijend paar wordt gezien door een non 1608

"Vrijend paar wordt gezien door een non" (1608) by Jacob van der Heyden depicts a romantic couple embracing in a landscape setting, observed by a nun. The etching, measuring 100 mm high and 146 mm wide, features detailed engravings of the figures and landscape. The scene is set amidst a rolling hillside with a distant view of a village and church, which likely symbolizes the disapproval of the church towards the couple's actions. The inscription beneath the couple suggests a playful dialogue between them and the nun, adding a humorous dimension to the moralizing message.
