Jezus en de ziel : een geestelyke spiegel voor't gemoed, bestaande in veertig aangenaame en stichtelyke zinnebeelden

Luiken, Jan, 1649-1712 · 1714 · Te Amsteldam : By de Wed. P. Arentz, en K. vander Sys · 40 pictures

A Dutch emblem book of forty plates by Jan Luyken, published in Amsterdam in 1714 by the widow P. Arentz and K. van der Sys, made for pious lay readers as a mirror for the soul. The small upright etchings pair a haloed Christ child with the Soul as a second child in rocky landscapes under skies of close parallel ruling, with radiating light, cherub heads in cloudbanks, birds, and a serpent on the ground; useful for cloud and light-ray textures, two-figure silhouettes, and compact framed vignettes.
