The second of only seven prints by Goudt, all of which were engraved after paintings by the German artist Adam Elsheimer, who had established himself in Rome at this time. The story is taken from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, and illustrates an episode during the search by the goddess Ceres for her daughter Persephone. The goddess stopped at a cottage where she was offered a bowl of hot broth by an old woman. A little boy appears and mocks her for drinking so greedily, for which the goddess turns him into a lizard.
