Cupid and a dying virgin, Cupid has shot an arrow into the heart of a young woman and watches in shock as she dies. A doctor feels her pulse and holds a bottle of liquid in his hand. In the background a loving couple are dining, the man with an arrow that shot death at him in his back. Death scratches his skull in surprise because the man who was hit does not fall dead but is in love. The text accompanying the print shows that the bundles of arrows of Cupid and Death have been switched, causing the young woman to die and the old man to fall in love., print, print maker: Crispijn van den
