About this motif
Schadow's four-horse chariot with the goddess Victoria has an eventful history: after defeating Prussia, Napoleon had the group carried off to Paris as booty. Only after the Wars of Liberation did it return triumphantly to the gate.
The steel engraving from around 1840 shows the quadriga on its own on a pedestal, with the goddess, the horses and the standard. Framed in portrait format with a mount and gold moulding, approx. 30 x 37 cm.
