Vertical panel with a cartouche at lower center with Ceres riding a wagon through a landscape. Above the cartouche, the figure of Hercules, with the earth on his shoulders, sits under an arch formed from strapwork and scrolling tendrils, topped with the crowned monogram RWR (William Rex). From an untitled series of six prints with designs for upright panels with modern grotesque decorations. Two prints each show two panels with candelabra grotesques. The other four are devoted to panels representing the four elements.
