This etching by Alexis Loir, dating back to the late 17th century, showcases a decorative panel featuring two river goddesses. The panel is framed by an elaborate, symmetrical design with a central, ornate cartouche. The goddesses are depicted in a classical style, reclining gracefully and interacting with an urn. The surrounding motifs of swirling foliage and putti lend a playful and romantic feel to the composition, characteristic of the Baroque period. The etching, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Loir's skill in creating intricate and decorative artwork, showcasing his mastery of line and detail.
