Title Page for M.C. Sarbievski, Lyricorum Libri IV

Cornelis Galle I after Sir Peter Paul Rubens

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures in a classical style next to a pedestal with a lyre on top. One figure on the left is standing with curly hair and draped clothing, while the figure on the right also has curly hair with a laurel wreath and similar clothing. There is a water source at the base of the pedestal, and a small, bundled infant in a basket-like structure near the right figure’s feet. The background has stylized trees and a classical landscape. Above the lyre on the pedestal is an ornate design with floral elements, keys, and a papal tiara surrounding a blank oval medallion.
