Beautiful etching depicting the Judgement of Paris; the young man seated on the right has an apple in his hand, Venus reaches out for the apple with Cupid next to her, while Minerva and Juno are standing further back. The print takes up, in reverse, the painting made in 1716 by Adriaen Van Der Werff.
