Master IRs

National Gallery of Art

This is a print of a kneeling figure before a standing figure with an architectural dome in the background. The scene is set on a rugged landscape. The kneeling figure is adorned in classical armor and a plumed helmet, while the standing figure wears a long robe and a large, distinctively shaped hat. The structure in the background is a large dome with ornate columns. Above the scene, the sky is portrayed with a stylized cloud. The image is rendered in a highly detailed black and white engraving style.
