About this work

Three scenes on an album page. At the top, a cartouche with three ox heads facing right. At the bottom, a maiden with a shield bearing three ears of corn. The scene in the middle is printed from a wedding medal. The text is mirrored: 'Waer d'een in d'anders hert door lieffd geslooten wert, Siet men veel vreuchgden spruyten ...' Accompanied by two hands in the clouds with a burning heart. The hands are encircled by a rope held by Death and Amor. Death threatens Amor with an arrow. The prints are part of an album.
