Plate 9 c. 17th century

This etching, "Plate 9", is part of a larger series of prints by Italian artist Stefano della Bella (1610-1664). The composition showcases the artist's mastery of detail and line, creating an intricate scene with two figures depicted in a landscape setting. This piece is typical of della Bella's work and demonstrates his talent for capturing the human form and nature with precision and grace. The print, now at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies della Bella's significant contributions to 17th century Italian art.
