About this work

Three prints on one sheet. Left: a two-armed wall candelabrum with a bust of Minerva. Center: a chandelier with half-figures and a seated Minerva. Right: a two-armed wall candelabrum with two chained Islamic prisoners or enslaved men and a bust of an emperor. These men can be recognized as Muslims by their characteristic hairstyle (shaved head except for a tuft).
