Beatrice Cenci and Lucrezia urge two men to kill Count Cenci

An engraved interior shows a seated figure asleep in a chair while a woman in a long gown gestures toward two armed men at right, one holding another by the arm near an open archway with drapery. A lamp sits on a small draped table, and a framed painting of cherubs hangs on the wall at left. Fine etched hatching gives the scene a soft, tonal finish.
