Huwelijksweegschaal, Johann Theodor de Bry, 1596 Canvas Print

The 'marriage balance'. A gentleman and a lady are on a scale that clearly blows to the woman's side. The love of the man may be great, but his purse (which is in front of him) is not and he is therefore found too light by the girl's parents, who are looking next to it. On the right an Amor with a bow and arrow near an open money chest. Emblem No. 24 in Emblemata Saecularia, 1596 and No. 45 in second edition of 1611.
