About this work

Facade with, in the center, a standing shepherdess with a pan flute and staff. On the left and right of her stand the gods Mars and Pallas Athena on pedestals between pilasters. Above them, Hercules carries the world on his shoulders. Equestrian statues of Louis XIV of France and Louis of France flank him. At the top, two women blowing trumpets sit on either side of a crowned coat of arms. The print was originally the title page for: Sanson, Nicolas, Atlas Nouveau Contenant Toutes les Parties du Monde (...), 1689. The title has been cut out and replaced by the print of the shepherdess.
