Amphitrite
School : Flandres, Pays-Bas
Description
Papier filigrané en son centre d'un dragon enroulé sur lui-même. ; Pièce en largeur représentant une nymphe allongée sur un large coussin reposant lui-même sur une roue. Elle se situe à la gauche de la composition. A sa gauche, un monstre marin crachant du feu est représenté. Derrière son épaule droite est un putti. Une large courbe -une planète - ? embrase le fonds de l'estampe. Le seul élément étonnant réside dans le croissant posé sur le sommet de la tête de la jeune femme. Aucune représentation d'Amphitrite se symbolise ainsi. Une couronne laurée et avec plusieurs flammes peut se retrouver dans son iconographie, mais pas de croissant.
Subject depicted
