About this work

This engraving shows two figures facing each other, their heads almost touching. The person on the left wears a ruffled collar and a chain necklace, while the one on the right has a beard and holds a small object in their hand. Both are dressed in flowing, detailed robes, and the background is filled with swirling patterns and text. Notice how the artist uses fine lines to create shading and texture, especially on the faces and fabrics. The Latin text at the bottom reads like a warning about how we see things.
