About this work

The female personification of Feeling sits on the ground on the bank of a river. On her left hand sits a falcon pecking at her. On the ground, a turtle. In the tree behind her, a spider's web. In the water, a rowboat is moored. The print has a Latin inscription and is part of a five-part series on the senses.
