Pero Breastfeeding Her Father Cimon in Prison, Etching by Francesco Cozza

An etching showing a young woman seated at the left, her hand pressed to her chest, as an older bearded man in a loose robe leans against her, his head bowed toward her breast. A barred window fills the upper right, and the scene is rendered in fine hatched lines.
