The artwork, entitled “Eagles, signs, banner, and two legionnaires at the ford of a river,” is created by the artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi. This piece falls under the Neoclassicism art movement and belongs to the design genre.
The artwork intricately depicts a series of symbols and figures, including eagles, circular signs, and banners, juxtaposed with two legionnaires. The scene appears to be set at a river ford, with one of the soldiers shown wading through the water while carrying significant weight on his shoulders. The figures are rendered with meticulous detail, exemplifying classical themes and stylistic elements characteristic of the Neoclassical period. The presence of various military and heraldic insignia further emphasizes the historical and martial connotations of the piece.
