Ask anything

  • Timm asked

    A text in Latin is written in the margin below. Can you tell me what is means?

  • Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

    Dear Tim, in this engraving the Latin text is about the pleasures of hunting together. It translates to something like this: "What now my sweet, seated here with what in mind? Or would you, perhaps, see my satyrs yet again? I shall follow with this bird, my dearest dear, if you so wish, What is more delightful thant hunting with hounds?" Always better to enjoy a hobby together, don't you think? Best, Tanja van Oostrum
