Four Mythological Scenes, Engraving After Farnese Palace Paintings

A sheet with four small engraved scenes in rectangular frames shows classical figures in landscapes: a draped standing figure beside a kneeling one near a domed building, a pair with a grazing animal, a struggle with a large bird among rocks, and a seated figure by water with a distant boat. Fine hatched lines are printed on cream paper.
