Illustration for Canto II

Charles Heath after Thomas Stothard

National Gallery of Art

The engraving shows two individuals in an oval frame. On the left, an older man sits in a chair with one arm resting on the armrest and holding a cane. He has shoulder-length curly hair and wears 18th-century attire. On the right, there is a younger woman leaning slightly towards the man. She has curly hair with decorations, wears a long gown, and appears to be reaching towards the man. The background features a textured wall with a floral design.
