The Judgment of Paris (1812)

Guillaume Guillon-Lethière: The Judgment of Paris

Another treatment of this mythological subject. There's mischievous Hermes hovering at upper right, having set the whole thing in motion. Of course Paris is shown choosing the goddess with the least amount of clothing (Aphrodite)!

The painter, Guillon-Lethière (1760-1832) was a Neoclassic artist.
