The Triumph of Truth over Envy, Plate 24

Maria Catharina Prestel

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sepia-toned drawing of a man on top of another, with background clouds. The top figure is depicted with short hair, wearing a short garment gathered at the waist, with a long piece of fabric behind him; he has his right arm raised and left on the other's chest. The bottom figure is depicted with long hair, appears to have fangs and claws; he is wearing a loincloth. He is lying on his back in the clouds with one leg bent and the other extended. The man on top leans backward, looking to the left. The bottom man's face looks up at him. The background contains a cloudy sky with dark clouds on the top.
