Aurora: Landscape at Dawn, after Adam Elsheimer

An engraved landscape shows a wide valley receding under a pale sky, with a dark tree mass and a small hillside village at the right edge. Latin inscription lines are engraved in cursive script below the image on the margin. Fine parallel hatching models the light and distant hills.
