About this work

Wedding print with a monument in honor of the marriage of Nicolaas de Vicq and Maria Jacoba van Riet. In the center Juno, goddess of marriage, sits enthroned. She is flanked by two statues of women, one depicted with two children. Above her several putti, two of whom sit on either side of the monogram of the wedding couple. Before Juno, two amorri offer on the altar of love with burning hearts. To the left the wedding couple. In the foreground two obelisks, to the left a quiver and bow, the attributes of Amor, and to the right an obelisk with two burning torches as symbols of love. At the bottom the wedding date in Roman numerals: 1701-09-21. In the center below a text in burning hearts and a twelve-line text in Dutch about the bride and groom and the print.
