Español: Júpiter y Antíope: la lámina grande

Un aguafuerte muestra a una mujer desnuda dormida sobre una tela arrugada, con el cuerpo extendido, mientras un hombre mayor y barbado, con una corona de hojas en el cabello, se inclina junto a ella. El rayado denso y la rebaba de la punta seca crean sombras profundas sobre el papel claro, y en el borde inferior aparecen la firma y la fecha.
