"Man Attended by Three Women" is an etching from a book of engravings published between 1599 and 1622. The artwork depicts a reclining male figure attended by three women, one holding a staff, while a dog sits at his feet. The print is part of a larger series, likely based on ancient cameos or gems, and showcases the detailed and intricate style of engraving popular in the early 17th century. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, offering viewers a glimpse into the art of reproduction and the enduring appeal of classical motifs in the Renaissance period.
