The print depicts the legendary Tower of Babel, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Standing tall amidst a bustling cityscape, it serves as a testament to human ambition and ingenuity. The intricate details captured through copper engraving bring life to every architectural element, showcasing Mallet's attention to accuracy and precision. As we explore this artwork further, we are transported into an era where Assyria reigned supreme under King Ashurbanipal and Queen Semiramis (Shammuramat). Their legacy is beautifully represented through stunning watercolor touches that add vibrancy to the scene.
