You see a picture of Alexander the Great standing over Diogenes, who's sitting in a barrel. The scene is simple, with clean lines and basic shapes. This print was part of a series called Ancient History, which is interesting because it shows how people in the 19th century thought about ancient stories. Look up the museum: The Cleveland Museum of Art.
