A finely detailed engraving by Carlo Antonio Porporati (1741-1816) after Charles-André van Loo (1705-1765). This scene is from Torquato Tasso’s (1544-1595) popular epic poem 'Jerusalem Delivered'. Set during the First Crusade, the Muslim princess Erminia has fled Jerusalem disguised in armour. She comes upon a shepherd and his sons making baskets in the forest. They are startled, but she removes her helmet to calm their fears, and they give her shelter. Smartly presented in a black frame with gold trim and green mount. On laid.
