| Description: A preliminary design for the ceiling of the Upper Hall of Greenwich Hospital. In the centre is a cartouche of Queen Anne and her husband, Prince George, supported by Hercules and a female figure representing Justice. Fame with a wreath and palm flies above. Plenty with a cornucopia is the figure behind, upper left. At lower right Neptune beckons up attendants with offerings from the sea. At the bottom another male figure, possibly Jupiter, casts down others representing Vices, with Juno, crowned and with her peacock, to the left. The concave corners of the central frame are supported by pairs of mermen and mermaids. |
