Formal Garden Allegory with Lion and Dutch Verse, 1615
An etched engraving shows a formal garden of geometric hedged beds, a lion resting by a wooden fence, and a woman in a long gown standing at right beside a crouching animal. A carved gateway with a central relief and figures stands at the top, and a Dutch verse caption runs along the lower margin.
