Original fileafter Hendrick Goltzius
A young woman leans into the arms of a man who holds her in a close embrace, their faces positioned nearly for a kiss. The woman is shown with a large coin purse and heavy keys hanging from her belt, while a small landscape with figures is visible in the background. The engraving uses the swelling lines characteristic of the Haarlem circle to emphasize the physical presence of the figures.
HGoltzius Inve. 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 ..
