The artwork, now part of a private collection, offers us a glimpse into the fashion and style of ancient times.

It depicts individuals dressed in classical attire, providing valuable insights into their clothing and costume choices. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight the elegance and sophistication prevalent among the ancients. From flowing robes to intricately patterned garments, every aspect of their dress exudes timeless beauty.
