Artist: Johann Jakob Kleinschmidt (1687–1772)

Inscriptions:
- Latin Text:
> *Pinguias spectatur armentis pascua nullus
Vaccarum dumetis subvenit quaqua.
Lax pet adur, bufanum vel fipum copia lactis
Si placet hoc probant proba, curata boves.*
- German Text:
> *Der Kühte Fröhlichkeit ist nicht gnüg über herzetz
Es ist wie reines Brodt, so wohl als gute Heit.
Schlöde, falge Fergnüg ins Koch, in des zu gern gebiert
Der hohen meister an sech, so müste als truchens Fröh.*
Interpretation:
The Latin text reflects a pastoral theme, possibly emphasizing the abundance and simplicity of rural life. The German text appears to highlight contentment in simple pleasures, contrasting it with idle luxury. Together, they celebrate the virtues of a modest and industrious countryside lifestyle.
Condition: Good condition for its age, with minor toning and light foxing. Paper edges slightly worn but intact. The engraved details and inscriptions remain clear.
