Illustration for Canto IV

About this work

This engraving shows a young woman in a white dress holding a scroll, standing near a harp. Behind her, a small boy leans on a cane, watching her. The room looks fancy, with a draped curtain, a table, and a basket hanging above. The woman’s dress is simple but elegant, and the harp suggests music might be important. The scene feels quiet, like a moment frozen in time. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create detailed prints like this.
