Juno and Jupiter Consult Tiresias

Juno and Jupiter (on the left of the print) cannot agree on the answer to the question of which sex can experience the greatest pleasure in love. Therefore, they submit the matter to Tiresias (on the right of the print), who was once a woman for seven years and can thus weigh both sides of the issue. Below the image, two sets of two lines of Latin text. This print is part of a series of 52 prints depicting stories from Ovid's Metamorphoses. The series is divided into three numbered sets: two sets of 20 prints and one set of 12 prints. This print belongs to the third set.
