Benjamin

Jan Sadeler I after Crispen van den Broecke

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a figure in classical robes standing barefoot on a grassy knoll, next to a large goat and a white kid. In the background, there is a rustic building with a thatched roof, and a smaller animal grazing nearby. The landscape features rolling hills, muted trees, and Latin text at the bottom. The style resembles that of a Renaissance artist.
