DescriptionAt left, on a wide plinth, is a long-haired woman (representing Fame) in a light yellow dress and a black, white-triangle-patterned cloak; she leans backward behind the block of text (announcing the exhibition) at upper right. She holds a long trumpet in her left hand and a wreath in her right. A figure of a lion is atop a pedestal and in front of a throne behind the woman, left; a plaza and domed building are in front of her below diagonal, gray notched clouds. Other blue and gray clouds are above and around her head, at top left. There is another wreath at bottom right.
