This engraving captures the discovery of Ceres at Ostia in 1856, now housed in the Museum of the Vatican. The artwork, created by an English School artist from the 19th century, showcases a significant moment in ancient Roman history. Ceres, known as the goddess of agriculture and fertility in Roman mythology, is depicted with grace and elegance. The finely detailed engraving brings to life her serene expression and flowing robes as she stands amidst ruins that once thrived during Rome's glory days.
