About this work
Pedestal in the form of a cartouche. On it a medallion with on the front the portrait of Jacopo Barbarigo. Around his neck he wears a cross. On the back a tomb or altar with the motto: Conservatoribus Venetae Libertatis. The pedestal is surrounded by a kneeling woman, possibly the personification of Venice (as dogana with doge's hat). She looks at a book that a bishop holds out to her. With her two saints. The man with palm branch and laurel wreath died as a martyr. The boy on the right holds a model of the Piazza San Marco in his hands. The print is part of an album.
