Not on view

Print from a series of four with designs for terms, thought to be after Polidoro da Caravaggio. Each plate shows two designs for terms. This plate shows two male terms, characterized by the lower part of their composition which is shaped like a tree trunk. The term on the right is a satyr, shown in 3/4 view. The figure on the left reminds of the stance of the Apollo Belvedere and Michelangelo's Dying Slave.
