Nella Venuta in Roma: pl. 7 is a 1764 ink by Franz Edmund Weirotter, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a scene with two figures in the foreground. The figure on the left is a woman, possibly a goddess, with her right arm raised and a bow and arrow in her left hand. She is accompanied by a man in a hat and coat, who appears to be holding a sword. In the background, there are buildings and a cloudy sky. The woman's gesture and the presence of the bow and arrow suggest that she may be a symbol of love or passion. The man's attire and the sword he holds imply that he may be a warrior or a symbol of strength. This etching is an example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and imagination.
