Engraving of a woman in a long gown riding a crawling man with a bridle, raising a switch; ruins, a tree and a tower behind.

Aristoteles en Phyllis (Campaspe)

A woman in a long gown sits astride a man crawling on the ground, with a bridle-like bit at his mouth, and raises a switch in her right hand. Ruined arches, a tree and a distant tower frame the scene in this fine engraving, with a monogram in the upper right.

Español: Aristóteles y Filis (Campaspe), grabado

Una mujer con vestido largo está sentada a horcajadas sobre un hombre que avanza a gatas por el suelo, con un bocado parecido a una brida en la boca, y levanta una vara en la mano derecha. Arcos en ruinas, un árbol y una torre lejana enmarcan la escena en este fino grabado, con un monograma en la parte superior derecha.

Português: Aristóteles e Filis (Campaspe), gravura

Uma mulher de vestido longo está sentada a cavalo sobre um homem que avança de quatro pelo chão, com uma peça semelhante a um freio na boca, e ergue uma vara na mão direita. Arcos em ruínas, uma árvore e uma torre distante emolduram a cena nesta fina gravura, com um monograma no canto superior direito.
