Titelprent met een soldaat en een vrouw met schildersattributen 1618

This 1618 engraving by Claes Jansz. Visscher depicts a Roman soldier and a woman holding a painter's palette. The title "Varia Antiquitates Romana" indicates the subject matter – Roman Antiquities. The soldier and woman stand on either side of a stone monument inscribed with the Roman abbreviation "SPQR", standing for "Senatus Populusque Romanus" (The Senate and People of Rome). This engraving would have been part of a larger collection of prints depicting Roman ruins and artifacts. The print likely served as a visual reference for artists and historians interested in Roman culture.
