Juno and Jupiter Ask Tiresias for Advice

Juno and Jupiter do not agree on the answer to the question of which sex has greater lust in love. Therefore, they submit the matter to Tiresias, who was once a woman for seven years and can thus weigh both sides of the case against each other. Tiresias sits in his study. On the shelf behind him and on the table in front of him are books. Next to the book on the table, a pair of spectacles. When Tiresias agrees with Jupiter, Juno blinds him. Jupiter mitigates Juno's punishment and lets him see the future in his blindness. Below the representation, two times two lines of verse in Latin. The print is part of an album.
