Italian Hand Colored Engraving by Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein: Based on the Original Collection of Sir William Hamilton's Ancient Vases

Wings sprout from the chariot wheels, and the young passenger looks as calm as if it were a bench.

This hand colored engraving, based on the original collection of Sir William Hamilton's ancient vases, is after Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein, from Naples, Italy, around 1791, in ink on paper. A youth seated in a winged chariot is usually identified as Triptolemus, who in Greek myth was sent by Demeter to teach agriculture. He holds a long scepter and a shallow dish. Two crowned women in long robes flank him, one with a staff and one with a jug and a scroll-like object. The image is 11 inches wide and 6.75 high.
