Description: The infant lying in a cradle with her eyes wide open is rocked to sleep by her mother sitting next to her in a quiet room. A busy city scene with various people can be seen through the open door. The Dutch artist and poet Jan Luiken (1649-1712) was responsible for drawing and etching this emblem and for the brief poem that accompanies it (below). The attendant Scripture texts are Luke 12:37-38 and 1 Peter 5:8-9.
