Engel van de dood presenteert een boek op Zorgvliet 1790

This 1790 engraving by Dutch artist Antoni Zürcher, titled *Engel van de dood presenteert een boek op Zorgvliet*, depicts the angel of death presenting a book to a group of figures. The scene is set in a landscape with a building and a carriage in the background, representing the estate of Zorgvliet in the Netherlands, where Dutch poet Jacob Cats lived. Two skeletons, representing death, hold up the book while an angel sits atop it. The angel of death holding a book was a common symbol of death in the 17th and 18th centuries.
