Veneration: seated ruler receiving hooded figures, Callot etching

An oval etching shows a seated ruler on a raised platform beneath a draped canopy, while hooded figures in long robes approach and bow before him. A standing attendant with a long staff watches at right, and a city of columns and an obelisk recedes behind them.
