About this work
The female personification of the element Earth. She is depicted with the mural crown of Cybele: a crown in the form of a wall with towers. She holds the horn of plenty in her right arm and a bunch of flowers in her left hand. In the background on the left, the creation of man. The tetragram replaces the image of God the Father. The whole within an oval cartouche with a putto in each corner. The print is part of an album.
