About this motif
The Quadriga crowns the Brandenburg Gate: the goddess of victory drives a chariot drawn by four horses. Johann Gottfried Schadow created the original; Napoleon had the group taken to Paris in 1806, and it returned in 1814.
König's etching shows the Quadriga in close-up with the green-patinated horses, the goddess with her standard and the relief frieze below. Image about 5 x 5 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
