Adversity is sustained by God, Gaspar Bouttats, 1679, Page from a book (p. 163) with text on verso. In an oval cartouche the interior of a room. In the foreground a youth throws a glass into the air. Next to the youth are more glasses on a table. An apple tree is depicted in the background. Above the cartouche the title (motto) of the print and a quotation from the Bible (Psalm 36:24, now Psalm 37:24). Below the print is a caption: 'Soo 't valt ten grondt, het breckt terstondt' (as it falls to the ground, it breaks) and a description explaining the print. Glass and crystal often break because people act too thoughtlessly. However, whoever throws up a glass always has time to catch it again. God's actions are analogous: adversity may be sent by him, but he will never let man fall completely because he cares about us., print maker: Gaspar Bouttats, (mentioned on object), F.
