About this work
This engraving shows a bust of an elderly bearded man with curly hair, bare chest and a draped cloth over one shoulder, set within a curved niche rendered in fine crosshatching. The inscription below reads L. Annaeus Seneca, and the plate is credited to Peter Paul Rubens as designer and Lucas Vorsterman as engraver.
