"Allegorische voorstelling op het huwelijk" is an etching by Dutch artist Frederik Ottens, dating back to the 18th century. The artwork depicts a complex allegorical scene, likely referencing the institution of marriage. The central figures, surrounded by cupids, are likely meant to represent the joining of two individuals through marriage, while the scene is framed with intricate botanical details and a banner reading "CONVINCTIT COPDA MINACES DEPELLIT RIXAS." This allegorical engraving, a popular genre in the Dutch Golden Age, is a fine example of Frederik Ottens's work and can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
