"De Pigna te Vaticaanstand" (The Pine Cone in the Vatican Courtyard) is an etching by Giovanni Maggi, dating from 1576-1618. It depicts a monumental pine cone sculpture, surrounded by an ornate architectural framework. The pine cone is shown in front of a structure, possibly the Vatican Palace, and two peacocks adorn the structure's top. This detailed drawing is a visual record of this prominent architectural feature and a fine example of 16th-century printmaking.
