This etching, "Frontispiece, plate one from Vasi Invention" (c. 1768 - 1770), by French artist Jean Laurent Legeay, depicts a classical archway adorned with intricate details and inscriptions. The scene is framed by foliage, with two figures standing in the foreground. This artwork is part of a series, "Vasi Invention," inspired by the work of the Italian architect, Giuseppe Vasi, and is a prime example of Legeay's skill in rendering architectural subjects with great precision and detail. This print, now in the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the historical and artistic significance of Legeay's work.
