Cornelis Jacobsz Drebbel, after Hendrik Goltzius

National Gallery of Art

Two individuals are shown from the waist up, engaged in a conversation. The person on the left is an elderly man with a long beard and cap, wearing a robe and gesturing with his left hand. The person on the right is a woman with curly hair, wearing a gown with puffy sleeves. She has her hands raised and there are books in her lap. The background includes columns and what appear to be scrolls or books.
