This print shows two naked men sitting on a fancy shelf. One leans back, relaxed, holding a scroll. The other slumps forward, head down. Above them is a carved bust of a woman wearing a helmet. The shelf has a long Latin title and looks like stone. The men might stand for artists or thinkers. The helmeted woman could be a symbol of wisdom or history. Look up Perini, Giuseppe Sforza next to see who made this.
