Description
Poem beneath image: L'Aymable Isis, au milieu de sa gloire, vient rendre a vos vertus, un hommage éclattant, et vous cedder une victoire, qu'elle ne vous pourroit, disputer un moment, ou pourroit on trouver, belle et sage Princesse. Tant de vivacité tant de discernement. Un vray merite avec tant de Jeunesse, un esprit enjoüé solide et penetrans, ce que dans un âge si tendre, vous possedez desja de belles qualitez, au roit bien lieu de nous surprendre, si tout n'estoit facile, au sang dont vous sortez. In the center of picture, far in background is a tall, masted sailing ship, viewed through a large window or doorway, as if the room opens onto the ocean. Image depicts the interior of a large, pillared temple with Greek or Roman worshipers performing a ritual with a large fire. Some hold goats or sheep or incense bearing containers. The top portion of the image is comprised of a celestial scene depicting cherubs and robed figures in repose in the clouds, surrounding a godlike king and queen.
