Image Title: The Moth: It Carries Its Mark
Scripture Reference:
Description: In a room of a house, two women inspect a sheet in front of an open linen closet for signs of a moth. A third woman holds a sheet in front of the window to view the numerous moth holes. An open door shows a city view. The Dutch artist and poet Jan Luiken (1649-1712), whose initials are at the lower right, was responsible for drawing and etching this emblem, as well as for the poem that accompanies it (below). The attendant Scripture text is Job 27:18-19.
