This etching by Abraham Bosse, titled "Juno op wagen door pauwen voortgetrokken" (Juno in a chariot pulled by peacocks), depicts the Roman goddess Juno in a chariot drawn by peacocks. This 17th-century print shows Juno as a figure of power and grandeur, emphasizing her status as queen of the gods. The intricate detail of the chariot and the peacocks, captured within a circular frame, is typical of Bosse's style of etching. This small-scale work highlights the artist's ability to create a dramatic scene in a limited space, demonstrating the power of his art and his masterful use of etching techniques.
