Created by Dominique Barriere, this etching beautifully captures a classical scene reminiscent of Claude Lorrain's works. The coastal landscape features a serene sea dotted with sailing ships, while a group of people gather on a terrace overlooking the water. In the foreground stands Mercury, the Roman god associated with trade and transport.
