Engraved personification of Envy: a veiled woman with an arrow-tipped staff, leafy banners, an eagle at right, flames below, and verse text along the bottom.

Invidia (Envy), personification with eagle and flames

A veiled woman in long flowing robes stands at the centre, holding an arrow-tipped staff in one hand and extending the other, surrounded by leafy scrolls with banners and an eagle at lower right. Flames rise at her feet, and two columns of verse run along the bottom of this grey-toned engraved print.
