About this work

A young nobleman sits next to Clio, the muse of history. She points with her left hand to a book on the history of Europe. With her other hand, she points to the scene in the background. Fortuna, Love and Death fly above a lively crowd. In the margin, a six-line caption in French. Numbered Asie Tom. I. in the upper left.
