Scripture Reference:
Description: Two men are contemplating a tree. A house is being built on the right side of the image; but in the background left is a funeral procession en route to a cemetery located behind a church. The Dutch artist and poet Jan Luiken (1649-1712), whose initials are at the lower right, was responsible for drawing and etching this emblem and for the poem that accompanies it (below). The attendant scripture text is Psalm 39:6-7.
