Invocation to the Divinities who preside over Agriculture from Virgil's "Georgics"
Pencil drawing on aged paper. The scene depicts a group of people, some nude, some dressed in robes. In the background, a sun with rays emanating from it. A man in the center holds a spear and shield, standing on a cloud with horses. Two figures on the right sit at a table. Several figures surround a central couple, one of whom is nude and embracing another figure. Two figures on the left hold bouquets. The people wear laurel wreaths on their heads. Clouds are scattered throughout the scene. The edges of the paper are rough and uneven.
