Description

This engraving portrays Vipsania Agrippina, the first wife of Roman Emperor Tiberius. The portrait shows her in profile, facing left, adorned in elaborate Roman attire. Her dress features intricate drapery and she wears ornate jewelry, including earrings and a decorative band across her chest. Vipsania's hairstyle is complex, with braids and curls arranged in a fashion typical of upper-class Roman women of the early imperial period.

Sadeler's engraving technique demonstrates exceptional skill, particularly in rendering the fine details of fabric textures, jewelry, and facial features. The background is plain, focusing attention on the subject.

Below the image is a Latin inscription in two columns, a verse relating to Vipsania's life or character.

This work is part of Sadeler's series of engravings depicting Roman historical figures, reflecting the Renaissance and Baroque interest in classical subjects.
