This 1786 engraving by Jean Dambrun, titled "Tullus tells Numa about his father and mother," depicts a scene from Roman mythology. It showcases Tullus, kneeling before Numa, who is pointing upwards, possibly towards the heavens. The scene is set in a darkened hall with architectural features, suggesting a location of power and significance. Dambrun's etching style, characteristic of the 18th century, captures the dramatic moment through detailed lines and shadow play, creating a sense of depth and emotion. The artwork is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands.
