Veturia en Volumnia voor Coriolanus 1793

"Veturia en Volumnia voor Coriolanus" is a 1793 etching by Ludwig Gottlieb Portman, a German artist known for his neoclassical style. This work depicts the Roman matron Veturia and her daughter Volumnia pleading with the Roman general Coriolanus to spare Rome. The dramatic scene, captured with delicate lines and detailed figures, conveys the intensity of the moment. This piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Portman's mastery of line and narrative, a key aspect of his artistic legacy.
