Athena transforms Arachne into a spider
Engraving and etching, 172 × 240 mm (sheet). From the series of the Metamorphoses of Ovid by Crispijn de Passe I, his sons and workshop?
Very fine impression on laid paper, with Dutch text on the verso. Sheet with small margins beyond the platemark, irregular edges, attached along the upper edge to a modern support. A small brown stain at the upper left, but overall in very good condition.
