About this work

A woman lies with her upper body bare on her back in the grass and has her hands folded, her gaze directed to the sky. In the distance, a horse gallops. In the clouds, Rhea sits in a triumphal chariot drawn by two lions, her head adorned with a city crown, holding a scepter in her hand. Print marked in the upper right: Third Book.
