Engraving of nude figures in a landscape, with an old woman standing center, a child at lower left, and a castle on a distant hill.

Old Woman and Two Pairs of Lovers in a Landscape

An engraving of a landscape with a distant hilltop castle and walled town. In the foreground, an elderly, gaunt woman in a head covering stands center, flanked by nude female figures in pairs and a small child seated at lower left. Fine cross-hatched lines model the bodies and trees, giving the sheet a soft, tonal finish.
