Two Terms, Two Cornices and a Pillar

Hugues Sambin

1554 · Etching · Drawings and Prints

Print with five designs, characterized by two large designs for terms placed side by side. The term on the left shows the nude upper body of an old woman supporting the capital or cornice, and five children or putti covering the base. The term on the right is made up out of two embracing women who are partly covered by a piece of drapery. On the outside the terms are flanked by two variations on the composition of a cornice. Between the two terms a half-lenght design for a pillar is placed, covered by a piece of drapery held in place by a belt.
