Couple Wearing the Latest French Fashion
Jean Picart (mentioned on object), 1628
The gentleman in this print offers the lady a ring set with diamonds. The poem below the print makes it clear that it is not an engagement ring and a promise of everlasting fidelity: the sumptuously attired couple are negotiating an assignation for a day or a night. The lady does not seem entirely convinced.
