Español: Ceres bebiendo de un frasco de noche, tras Elsheimer (grabado de 1646)

Un grabado en blanco y negro muestra a una mujer con ropas fluidas que alza un recipiente hacia sus labios a la izquierda, mientras una anciana encorvada y encapuchada está en una puerta a la derecha. Un niño desnudo se acerca a la anciana junto a gavillas de trigo y una rueda de carreta de madera, bajo un follaje denso de noche.

Português: Ceres bebendo de um frasco à noite, após Elsheimer (gravura de 1646)

Uma gravura em preto e branco mostra uma mulher de vestes fluidas erguendo um recipiente aos lábios à esquerda, enquanto uma velha encurvada e encapuzada está numa porta à direita. Um menino nu estende a mão em direção à velha, ao lado de feixes de trigo e uma roda de carroça de madeira, sob folhagem densa à noite.
