Angler by tree and trap, Four pastoral scenes (series title), A young man stands next to a basket and jar at the edge of a lake and bends slightly forward over a fishing line. On the right is a tree under which there is a trap. The four-line French caption states that one can see that the fisherman has cast his fishing rod, but not what he catches with it. Fishing was a widespread symbol of amorous activity, based on the notion of the unreliable bait. The trap here represents the pitfall of love., print maker: Cornelis Bloemaert (II), after design by: Abraham Bloemaert, publisher: Pierre Mariette (I), publisher: Paris, publisher: Paris, France, c. 1613 - 1692, paper, engraving, height 143 mm × width 210 mm, print
