About this work

Composition with an obelisk and below it a globe flanked by a caryatid and an armed atlante with helmet and spear, two birds, and two sphinxes. On either side, a panel with two women on the left and an angel blowing a trumpet and holding armor on the right. Print is part of an album. Most likely a mirrored copy after a French original.
