<p>[QUOTE="Iconodule, post: 10580178, member: 91417"]Cannot help with sales info--just iconography. The second image is based on Angelica Kauffman's painting of Jupiter (disguised as Diana) seducing Callisto. There is a verison in St. Petersburg (Florida) Museum of Art (attached below) and Wikipedia shows another from Christie's in 2015 (no info on current collecton). It was reproduced on decorative items (esp. china), but often omiting Jupter's eagle, which confuses the subject. Here the same three images are on china plates: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1221420265/set-of-three-vintage-hammersleycobone" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1221420265/set-of-three-vintage-hammersleycobone" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/1221420265/set-of-three-vintage-hammersleycobone</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have it on a pin that came out of my grandmother's costume jewelry box (probably from the "dress up" box she kept for children.)
