Allegory of Sight: Woman at Mirror, Man with Telescope
An engraved allegory of sight shows a seated woman before a dressing table, gazing into a small mirror on the table, while a standing attendant behind her looks on. At the right, a man peers through a telescope from an open window, and the cartouche below reads VISUS / LA VEUE.
