Ornamental Panel Surmounted with Two Figures Leaning on the Bust of a Woman

Michel Dorigny, after Simon Vouet

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving seen straight on. There are two winged figures at the top, above a scene of two people at a table within a wreath. Below, a frame contains a rural landscape with a tree on the right and hills in the distance. The image features detailed line work and shading for texture and depth, with a monochromatic color scheme of black and white. Two seated figures sit near an urn with drapery and scrollwork around them.
