This 18th-century print by Jan (Sr.) Oortman depicts a series of illustrations of deities from ancient Roman mythology, each presented in a rectangular frame with a caption below. The figures are depicted in a simple, somewhat cartoonish style, and are shown holding various attributes that identify them, such as weapons, tools, or animals. This engraved print, "De beeldtenis dier valsche goden," is a fascinating example of the 18th-century artistic style in the Netherlands.
