Created in Bologna in 1642, this particular engraving depicts an imaginary creature known as a harpy. The harpy is beautifully portrayed with intricate details that bring it to life on paper. With the body of a bird and the face of a woman, this mythical being exudes both grace and mystery. Its wings spread wide, ready to take flight into the realms of imagination. Displayed in vibrant black and white tones, this engraving not only captures the essence of natural history but also sparks curiosity about fantastical creatures that exist only within our minds.
