This engraving, created by Raffaello Schiaminossi in 1606-1607, is a frontispiece for the book "Il sacrato collegio apostolico" ("The Consecrated Apostolic College"). The composition features two figures, possibly allegorical representations, flanking a central cartouche with a religious symbol. Cherubs and scrolls add to the elaborate design. Schiaminossi's detailed and intricate style is evident in this work, characteristic of early 17th-century Italian engravings.
