A Woman with Her Hands on a Vase, Soldier, and Slave, from Capricci

A standing woman in a long cloak rests her hands on a tall urn set on a pedestal beneath a leafy tree. At right, a seated, muscular man with a spear leans toward the vessel, and a sea horizon opens behind them. Fine hatched lines define the rocky ground and foliage in this etching.
