A dark, densely figured decorative background surrounds a central round space containing a nude woman holding a staff before an expansive landscape. At her feet is a striding peacock.
Subject Matter
This engraving is one of a series depicting the figures from the Judgment of Paris. The goddess shown here is Juno (or Hera), with scepter and crown and accompanied by the animal closely associated with her, the peacock. Juno was one of three goddesses competing to be declared the fairest by the mortal judging the contest, Paris. Venus won the golden apple given as a prize, triggering the sequence of events that led to the Trojan War.
