[edit]| Description |
English: Watercolour and gouache over lithographic line, on laid paper. Inscribed: Ie Lithoge de C. M. R des Marais 13. Numbered: 21. Dimensions: 68.6 cm. by 50.8 cm.
To be executed in gilt bronze, rouge and black marble; enamel dial; black marble platform. A female figure with ewer and wine cup, one elbow resting on an altar topped by a lyre and a laurel wreath and containing the clock, its dial surrounded by floral motifs, a half-column to the side supporting a two-handled covered urn. The frieze with quivers suspending swags of rose flowers, with butterflies above. Hebe, the Greek goddess of Youth, (Roman: Juventas), was the daughter of Jupiter and Juno and wed Hercules on his apotheosis to Olympus, the seat of the gods. She was cupbearer and general handmaiden to the gods, hence the winged caps to the front of the altar below the dial in the present design. A wine ewer and cup were her attributes. She is most frequently depicted offering an eagle (Jupiter in one of his guises) a cup of nectar that she has just poured from her ewer. |
