The Pastorals of Virgil

About this work

This image is a wood engraving featuring four scenes. Each scene depicts a person in a long robe, often with their arms raised, surrounded by animals like sheep and goats. The background of each scene includes trees, hills, and a body of water, with the sun or moon visible in the sky. The scenes appear to be pastoral, with a focus on the natural world and the relationship between humans and animals. The use of wood engraving creates a sense of texture and depth, adding to the overall sense of realism in the scenes.
