Teapot

After a print by Abraham Delfos
After a composition by Hieronymus van der My

Not on view

The scene, which is repeated on the opposite side, depicts the apotheosis of Gustav III (1746–1792) as heir to the Swedish throne; it is copied with care and fidelity—and a modest addition of flesh tones—from an engraving by Abraham Delfos (1731–1820) after a drawing by Hieronymous can der My (1687–1761).
