The engraving showcases intricate details in the woman's dress as well as delicate lettering that adds depth to the illustration. The monochrome palette enhances the timeless beauty of this piece while capturing the essence of its era.

This particular print now resides in a private collection. Through this allegorical composition, Montfaucon invites viewers into an enchanting world where nature intertwines with human existence. It serves as both an artistic expression and a reminder of how art can capture not only physical appearances but also symbolic meanings.
