This fragment of an engraving by Philips Galle is a piece of a larger work that depicts Cebes's "Table of Life", an allegorical work about the journey of life. The fragment shows figures in a landscape setting, their expressions suggesting a complex narrative. This print is a testament to the popularity of this text in the 16th century. While the piece is now in the Rijksmuseum, it represents the tradition of engraving as an art form and the work's enduring influence on art and culture.
