About this artwork
The triumphal arch, depicted at center, in mid-distance, consists of a higher central and two lower lateral archways. Above the central arch is a chariot with two allegorical figures of women. On the ground, seven small-scale figures of men and a woman (and even one accompanying dog) promenade below the arch, pointing or looking at it.
