Tegenspoed verheft de mens; Tegenspoedt recht ons op van de Aerde tot den Hemel; Voorwinckel van Patientie in den droeven tegenspoedt.Page from a book (p.55) with text on verso. In an oval cartouche the interior of a room. In the foreground a man looks at a ball that he has just hit the ground and that is now the height in bounce. Above the cartouche the title (motto) of the print and a quote from the Bible (Psalm 75: 8). Under the print a caption: 'This loss, does heavorously' and a description that explains the print. Just like a handball ball that is hit hard against the ground, then to bounce its high, its setbacks for humans to raise itself.
