Seated Pilgrims

Stefano Della Bella

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures sitting on a rock under a tree, looking into the distance. The horizon features trees and ruins. The etching technique shows fine lines with cross-hatching for texture and shading in a monochromatic color palette. In the background, there are structures resembling ruins, some figures interacting, and a lone rider on horseback moving towards the horizon.
