VICO, Enea, Two Roman female Statues, one a Priestess, from a series of three plates of the antique statues in the palace of the Cardinal de Valle in Rome

Bartsch indicates that the plates of this set are Vico’s earliest. Despite the truncated limbs, the casual stances of the statues have a life-like look.
