Pieter de Jode, an engraver, stands in front of a table with engraving tools sitting upon it. He holds his left arm across his body. In his left hand is a rolled piece of cloth or paper. He looks slightly to the proper left. This image is from the Gillis Hendricx edition of the Iconography (Icones Principum Virorum Doctorum, Pictorum Chalcographorum Statuorum nec non Amatorum Pictoriae Artis Numero Centum), 1632-44.
A botanical print depicting a thin stemmed flower with blue and light purple petals. An uncolored image appears in the lower right.
A scene of architectural ruins and a large piece of roof with a decorated cornice that has fallen in foreground. A title is written across the center of the roof.
A bare landscape with hillocks is populated with horses and clusters of people in traveling clothes. Several tents with flags dot the landscape. Pale washes of color pick out clothes worn by the travelers; the image is otherwise dominated by gray washes and a low, pale skyline.
