About this work
An engraved reproduction of a Rubens painting shows an armored hero holding a staff while a winged Victory crowns him with a laurel wreath. Nude figures, a small Cupid, and a grotesque face in the background surround the scene, with a reclining figure and grapes at the lower right. The printed caption below records the original Rubens painting in the Royal Gallery of Dresden with its dimensions in French and Italian.
