Original fileafter Hendrick Goltzius
A young man wraps his arms tightly around a smiling young woman, who carries a set of keys and a drawstring pouch at her waist. The figures are rendered with the textured hatching characteristic of the Goltzius school, set against a background featuring a distant couple walking near a tree. A Dutch verse at the bottom of the plate offers a moralizing reflection on the nature of desire and physical satisfaction.
HGoltzius Inue. Adri. Matham sculp Iac Matham excud. Des weymans lust, die wordt geblust, wanneer hij heeft gevaen... Ick hebt, en doch mijn lustens noch, sijn nimmermeer voldaen...
Translation
H. Goltzius invenit. Adr. Matham sculpsit. Iac. Matham excudit. The fowler's delight is quenched when he has made a catch... I have, and yet my desires are, never satisfied...
