About this work
Sheet with two prints printed from one untrimmed plate. Left, a Roman soldier with a spear, offering his left hand to a seated Roman lady. Under the lady's seat sits a small naked boy; in the background stands a young man holding a chest. Right, in a circle, an old man and a young man on a hilltop. The young man is being grabbed by his clothes by a woman on the right.
