A drawing of a richly decorated room in which four seated women are making embroidery, threads, needle-point and lace. The woman at the spinning-wheel with a child is presumably Cornelia, the daughter of Scipio Africanus and the wife of Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus; on the right is another woman with a child in front of the fire. The children are presumably intended for the Gracchi. To the left of the bed, Tiberius Gracchus is seen killing the snake emerging from a dish. This is a preparatory drawing in reverse for the engraving by Theodor Galle, in an untitled series devoted to Roman history. Signed, lower right: Stradanus.
