Judgment of Paris

Attributed to Hans Springinklee

National Gallery of Art

This round print shows a scene with five people in an outdoor landscape. On the right are three nude women, two of them facing us, and one facing the left. In the bottom left, an armored man reclines on the ground. He has long hair and appears to have a weapon at his side, and his head is turned to the left, away from the women. Behind him is another man with a long white beard who wears a robe and holds a round object out to the armored man. All of the people have light skin. The landscape is filled with dark crosshatching lines and includes trees and architectural elements in the distance. Surrounding the round print is off-white paper.
