The print, part of a private collection, captures the essence of these mythical figures with intricate detail and artistic finesse. The image depicts a scene set amidst lush fields and meadows, symbolizing agriculture and growth. In the foreground, two Lares stand proudly as guardians of this fertile land. With their strong presence and enigmatic expressions, they exude an aura of power and protection. The artist's skillful use of black and white adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the timeless nature of these legendary beings. Their mythological significance is further highlighted by various symbols scattered throughout the artwork - a boiling pot representing their association with domestic life, an indoor plant signifying their connection to nature and botany.
