Title Page to Juvenal's Satyrs, by Sir R. Stapleton is a 1615 ink by Thomas Rawlins, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a central figure holding a book, crowned with a wreath, while two robed men stand behind him, one holding a scroll labeled "JUNO" and the other "JUVENAL." The scene is framed by swirling vines, scrollwork, and small scenes at the bottom—one with figures under an arch, the other showing people around a table. The text reads *"Juvenalls Satyrs"* with a dedication to *"the Prince."* This is a title page for a book of poetry, packed with symbols of wisdom and power. The artist used fine lines to create depth, a trick called cross-hatching. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how it works.
