AF-DX-1722.T.jpg

Monochrome engraving with heavy chiaroscuro. A young man in a simple robe is depicted in the middle of falling back upon a rock on a shore, his face betraying shock and fright. In the water, below him, is a large fish with spiny teeth. Above him, standing on the rocks, is a winged angel, at whose foot, drenched in shadow, stands a dog that looks curiously at the large fish. Surrounded by a simple border resembling a picture frame. Engraver name at base.
