Two Figures with a Mirror

Französische Grafik 1775–1780, 1775/80

The image features two individuals, one standing and one seated on a cloud. The standing figure has their head turned to the right, with delicately outlined facial features and styled hair. They wear a long, flowing garment and hold a fan or leaf in one hand and a round object in the other. The seated figure has detailed facial features and wings on their back. They are partly exposed, wearing simple attire and holding a glass orb or scepter in one hand, with a bracelet on the other wrist. The background is plain, emphasizing the outlined figures with a simplistic style focused on linework.
