In this study for an etching in his 1879 portfolio "Rescues of Ovid’s Victims", Klinger sketches out the basic compositional elements: the framing devices, the tripartite division of the story, and the foreground figures and trees. He uses ink and, notably, wash, to define the quasi-architectural frame and indicate the areas to be shaded in the print.
