Allegori med Påfugl, siddende kvinde og en ung mand 1765 - 1833

This engraving by Gerhard Ludvig Lahde, titled "Allegori med Påfugl, siddende kvinde og en ung mand," depicts a seated woman adorned with a crown, offering a sprig of flowers to a standing, nude youth. A peacock stands behind the woman, its tail feathers fully spread. The scene is likely an allegorical representation, with the peacock symbolizing pride or vanity and the youth representing innocence or virtue. Lahde's masterful use of linework creates a sense of elegance and detail within the small dimensions of the print. This piece is a prime example of Lahde's skill in capturing the human form and expressing symbolic narratives.
