About this work

This is a simple, elegant print with black ink on light paper. The words are written in a flowing, decorative style, with swirls and loops connecting letters. The text looks like a poem or quote, centered neatly on the page. At the bottom, smaller print mentions a date and a place name. The phrase is in Dutch, and the name *Ludolf Backhuysen* stands out as the artist. The year 1701 is also visible, marking when this was made. If you like this style of writing, look up Baroque.
