Aeneid

Francis Cleyn

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Aeneid by Francis Cleyn: A black-and-white illustration depicting four men standing or sitting on a dirt path; one man sits on the left looking to his right with hair curled up at the back, wearing a cloth wrapped around his waist; two men in the center wear laurel wreaths on their heads and are partially nude; and a man on the right wears a cloth draped over his left shoulder and around his waist, and holds a bow. A large tree trunk is to the left and a rocky hillside leads to a background with distant figures, rolling hills, and a sky with lines suggesting clouds.
