About this work

Older men are in conversation on the terrace in front of a house built in the Doric order. Books stand in the niches of the house. A man falls from the stairs leading to the terrace. A warrior comes up the stairs. On the right in the background, an obelisk and a cross stand. From the tower of the house, a flag flies with two spectacles on it. In the margin, a four-line text in two columns in Latin. The print is part of an album.
