Embleem met allegorie op betrouwbaarheid 1681 - 1737

"Embleem met allegorie op betrouwbaarheid" is a 17th or 18th-century emblem by Dutch artist François van Bleyswijck. This copperplate engraving features a female figure standing next to a column, holding a scroll and gazing upwards. The image is framed with ornate decorative elements. This work is part of a larger series, "Zinnebeelden" (Emblems), reflecting the Baroque era's interest in allegorical representation. The emblem promotes the value of trustworthiness and fidelity, a theme conveyed through the figure’s gestures and the accompanying text. The work currently resides in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
