View of a forest scene with various small children who make offerings to Faunus. Based on Horace's Oden, book 1, poem 4, verses 9-12: the ode to spring. In translation, the text reads: “Now it is fitting to cover the shining head with either fresh myrtle or with flowers, which the liberated earth produces. Now it is appropriate to sacrifice Faunus in the shady, sacred forests, whether he demands that a lamb be sacrificed to him or he prefers a kid. '' (Latijnengrieks.com, 2015). Etching and engraving by Pellegrino dal Colle (1737-1812), after the painting by Giacomo Franceschini (1672-1745).

Zicht op een bosgezicht met diverse kleine kinderen die offers brengen aan Faunus. Gebaseerd op Horatius' Oden, boek 1, gedicht 4, vers 9-12: de ode aan de lente. In vertaling luidt de tekst:
,,Nu past het het glanzende hoofd te bedekken met ofwel frisse mirte, ofwel met bloemen, die de bevrijde aarde voortbrengt. Nu past het in de schaduwrijke, heilige wouden aan Faunus te offeren, of hij nu eist dat er aan hem een lammetje zou geofferd worden of hij de voorkeur geeft aan een bokje.'' (Latijnengrieks.com, 2015).
Ets en gravure door Pellegrino dal Colle (1737-1812), naar het schilderij van Giacomo Franceschini (1672-1745).
