An allegorical scene; a young woman at centre holding a wreath above her head, at left is a old man leaning on a stick, a younger man at right who holds a small dragon 1510 - 1520

This 16th-century engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi, titled "An allegorical scene," features a central female figure holding a wreath aloft, a young man holding a small dragon, and an elderly man leaning on a staff. The figures are likely allegorical representations, but the specific meaning remains open to interpretation. Raimondi was known for his skill in translating Raphael's drawings into prints, and this engraving exhibits the high level of detail and refined draftsmanship that defined his work. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees, mountains, and a distant city, emphasizing the classical and mythological references within the composition.
