Ornament with a Male Half-Length Between Two Genii
An engraving in black on pale paper shows a bearded horned satyr-like male figure at center, his torso emerging from foliage, flanked by two chubby winged putti who lean in toward him. Above, scrolled volutes, acanthus leaves and two winged creatures frame the composition in dense, fine hatched lines.
