This print shows a woman riding a seashell pulled by sea creatures, surrounded by winged figures. The scene looks like a stormy ocean with waves crashing around her. Above her, cherubs float in the air, holding a flowing cloth that forms a canopy. The title at the bottom reads *Le Triomphe de Galathée*, which means "Triumph of Galatea." The woman at the center is likely Galatea, a sea goddess from ancient myths. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
