About this work
A woman wearing Grecian attire, possibly Nemesis, is racing in a chariot drawn by two griffons. The griffons have the upper body of an eagle and the lower body of a lion. An urn or ewer containing a single flower stem rests on its side beneath the beasts’ feet. Trees frame this vignette. Printed in pink, red and two shades of green on a blue ground.
