This is a drawing of mythological figures and putti. The etching depicts two human-like figures in flowing garments walking together, surrounded by cherubic figures. Above them, the sky is filled with swirling clouds. In the background, a classical building with columns is visible. In the foreground, there are serpents and an anchor. The line work and hatching create textures throughout the piece.
