About this work
Cloelia escapes with a friend to Rome by riding across the Tiber. Her other friends stand on the bank and watch. To the right in the foreground Romulus and Remus are suckled by a she-wolf. Next to it lies a naked laurelled man with the horn of plenty in his arm. In the margin under the scene is a text in Latin, numbered in the lower right: 3. The print is part of a series of prints depicting events from Roman history.
