Erichthonius in his basket, Pieter van Sompel, 1615 - 1657 Canvas Print

The three daughters of King Cecrops open the basket entrusted to them by Minerva with Erichthonius. A little dog dives into each other growling when he sees the baby's legs, which end in snake tails. On the left a fountain with the representation of Diana of Ephesus, who here represents Mother Earth (Gaea), the mother of little Erichthonius. Below the image a line of verse in Latin by the Polish poet Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski. Scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses (Met. II, 553-563).
