    What is this? Some kind of incomprehensible drawing, either made with ink or a seal? I can't figure it out, there are some stickers on the back. What is this? photo_2024-11-01_14-21-53.jpg photo_2024-11-01_14-21-32.jpg photo_2024-11-01_14-20-38.jpg photo_2024-11-01_14-20-23.jpg photo_2024-11-01_14-21-28.jpg photo_2024-11-01_14-20-48.jpg photo_2024-11-01_14-31-52.jpg

    The subject is the rape of Lucretia by Tarquin, which led to the downfall of the Roman monarchy.
    The story is set in Ancient Rome but became popular in the Renaissance period. Several artists made paintings, sketches, and engravings of the story.I think yours is a print of an engraving, but let's wait for the others.

    This is the painting related to the engraving:

    Is this an 18th-19th century ink drawing?The clothes look more like an engraving from 1801. Although copies of the original clothes were drawn in the 19th century.
