Imagination at the father's time; Title page For: A. Houbakken, the Groote Schouburgh der Nederlanche Konstschilders and Schilessen, 1753. Father time, with a broken cathem in his hands, is gripped by his wings by an allegorical female figure with a mask to her belt; Art's personification, or imagination. Left in the foreground Two putti at the portrait of Arnold Houbakken in an oval. The personification of the imagination refers to the attempt by the writer to protect the artists laid down in the book by vital preservations for oblivion.
