Arabie Troglodytique, from "Jeu de la Géographie" 1644

This etching, "Arabie Troglodytique," is part of a series of prints by Stefano della Bella titled "Jeu de la Géographie". Depicting a female figure with a staff, the artwork is a visual representation of the Troglodytic region of Arabia. The accompanying text describes the area as a barren desert located along the Red Sea, bordering Egypt and Nubia. Della Bella's use of line and detail in this print is characteristic of his artistic style and his interest in depicting historical and geographical themes.
