The painter and writer Arnold Houbraken died suddenly, leaving behind some unfinished projects. This title page design was possibly for a forthcoming volume of satirical poems. In the depiction, Father Time holds up a mirror, a symbol of the naked truth, to a figure studying a globe. His head is adorned with little wings, designating his lofty thoughts.
