A 1667 Brussels emblem book by Otto van Veen, engraved by Cornelius Bol and published by François Foppens, printed for a learned and courtly readership interested in love as a moral subject. Its pictures are oval engravings of a naked winged cupid in pastoral landscapes, with a designer taking away the framed oval vignette layout, the classical cupid pose, and the fine cross-hatched line shading.
