| Reverse description | Rectangular relief plaquette depicting a scene from Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, rendered in a fine engraved style inspired by Gustave Doré's celebrated illustrations. Two robed figures — Dante and his guide Virgil — stand at the left of the composition, gesturing toward a group of tormented souls partially transformed into gnarled, leafless trees within a dark forest, representing the Wood of the Suicides from Inferno, Canto XIII. The intricate hatching and deeply worked field create a dramatic chiaroscuro effect across the entire rectangular surface. |
