Clio, one of the Muses, engraving by Jean Leblond

A bust-length engraving shows a woman with curly hair under a dark cap, wearing a pearl necklace and drop earring, one hand raised and the other holding a folded book with patterned edges. Four columns of small printed verse fill the lower margin, and the upper right corner bears the label CLIO, identifying this single muse from a series.
