Twee scènes uit de komedie Eunuchus van Terentius 1716 - 1718

This etching, "Twee scènes uit de komedie Eunuchus van Terentius" (Two scenes from the comedy Eunuchus by Terence), was created by Dutch artist Bernard Picart between 1716 and 1718. It depicts two scenes from the Roman play Eunuchus by Terence. The first scene portrays a man stepping out of a doorway while another man gestures towards him. The second scene depicts a man in a dramatic pose, gesturing to a woman who appears to be rejecting his advances. The detailed linework and the use of perspective are hallmarks of Picart’s style. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
