About this work

This print is from Paolozzi’s *The Museum Series*. It’s a 1993 print held at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Each sheet in the series copies a bas-relief sculpture or frieze from an old culture. These carved stones usually show gods, heroes, or daily life. Paolozzi lifted one of those scenes and turned it into a print.
