This 1778 engraving, "Landschap met Cicero aan de oever van een rivier bij zijn villa," by William Woollett, depicts the Roman orator Cicero at his villa. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, shows Cicero in a landscape setting with rolling hills, a river, and trees. Woollett's detailed rendering of the landscape and the figures demonstrates the popularity of Roman history in 18th-century England. The engraving exemplifies the skilled craftsmanship of 18th-century printmaking, a popular art form at the time.
