Scène uit Agésilas 1763 - 1764

"Scène uit Agésilas," a black and white etching created by Noël Le Mire in 1763-1764, depicts a dramatic scene between two figures, likely from a play or historical narrative. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is framed within an architectural setting, showcasing a classical style. The scene captures a moment of interaction, possibly a transfer of power, emphasized by the inscription at the bottom. The etching's detail in the figures and architecture, along with its historical context, suggests a refined approach, popular during the 18th century.
