This hand-colored etching, created around the late 18th century by an unknown artist, portrays a satirical scene of political negotiation and alliance between France and Rome. The artwork showcases a fascinating blend of historical context, animal symbolism, and caricature. In this comical yet thought-provoking image, various animals take on human characteristics as they engage in diplomatic discussions. A cat wearing traditional French attire exchanges gifts with a rooster donning Roman clothing while holding a peace treaty document. This clever representation highlights the complexity and fragility of alliances during this era.
